TENTANG EPISODE INI
Continuing the next series of Creating Dementia Solutions episodes, we explore the real-life experiences of individuals and families affected by dementia.
Through intimate conversations, each episode shares a unique story — from early memories and the moment of diagnosis to the challenges, small victories, and emotional journeys that follow. Also discussed is the caregiving component – and how folks have stepped into the caregiving role in support of a loved one with dementia.
In this episode, long time Miles for Memories volunteer Anne Clark shares her experiences as a caregiver for several family members. Anne explains her learning process about caregiving, including the idea that it's possible to give too much care.

Along with local efforts, 20% of the funds to prevention-related dementia research. Miles for Memories is a committee of 70-plus volunteers and are always looking for more to get involved.
