Listen "Sarah"
Episode Synopsis
Wanda chronicles her mother Sarah's dementia journey in the 1980s - receiving the (mis)diagnosis of Alzheimer's at the age of 52.
Sarah went on to become somewhat of a poster child for early-onset Alzheimer's, being profiled in LIFE Magazine, only for her family to realize many years later that it was in fact Frontotemporal Dementia - and it was affecting many members of their large family. Listen to our very first story of the season told by this fierce and incredible FTD advocate, Wanda.
