ABOUT THIS EPISODE
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.
Michele Pascoe, veteran navigator at Summit Pointe, shares her journey connecting Calhoun County veterans with resources they need - including, at times, dementia resources through Miles for Memories.

ABOUT MILES FOR MEMORIES
Miles For Memories is a Calhoun County, Michigan organization created in 2013 to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s Disease. Later in 2014, the vision was expanded to include all types of dementia. MFM raises money each year through sponsorships, community events, and grants to gather funds to create local programming for both the person living with dementia and the caregiver. 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.
