9/12/2017 - Frontotemporal Dementia is discussed in this article in People magazine. It's amazing to see the strides that The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration has made since 2002. When Bob was diagnosed in 2003, most people didn't know what FTD was. Thank you People for helping to spread awareness. This woman's story sounds much like Bob's and so many others we've met through our journey with FTD. Click here to read Becky's story in People Magazine.
