Sharing My Life with Frontotemporal Dementia

FTD Documentary

Planning for Hope – Trailer for a new documentary film about Frontotemporal Dementia that includes patients, caregivers, and other family members telling about the profound impact of FTD and other dementias on their lives. The documentary made its debut in Colorado on May 14, 2010.

FTD: The Other Dementia – Website with more information about the documentary, including a contact page to ask about showing or purchasing a DVD copy of the film.

Along with the producers – who are part of our FTD “community” – we hope to hear not only from persons with FTD and other dementias, but also from persons with ideas and/or resources to help get this film shown and distributed to health care providers, persons with dementia, their caregivers, and other family members.

Vicki’s Medical Expenses

Vicki has been tentatively approved to participate in clinical research studies to help understand more about Frontotemporal Disease for the benefit of others who may be affected now or in the future. But before she can participate in the studies, she has to undergo a series of medical tests and evaluations which aren't covered by her medical insurance. As you can imagine, these tests are expensive and her financial resources are limited.

We're asking you to consider donating toward Vicki's medical expenses. Your support will not only encourage Vicki, but will have benefits for future generations who will know more about FTD. This is a private activity, so donations aren't tax deductible. But each of us can make a real difference. To donate online, just click on the button below.

Thank you. Jim Coyle
