The Altzheimer’s Project Airs Tonight
Maria Shriver, co-executive producer of The Alzheimer’s Project, spent time speaking with Diane Sawyer on ABC’s Good Morning America on May 6, 2009. We have provided information on the series in previous Senior Help Forum posts. However, it really is worth your time and effort to watch Maria’s Good Morning America interview online.
It is informative: “Every 70 seconds someone in America is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease.” – Diane Sawyer
It is inspirational: Maria goes in front of Congress to explain how her father remembers the Hail Mary but does not remember her.
It is a bit sad: “It is never easy looking at your parent and having them not know who you are, no matter what your age is.” – Maria Shriver
It instills a sense of hope: “What we have seen in these last years is an incredible and unanticipated progress in understanding Alzheimer’s diease. The understanding is important because it leads to targets for intervention, ways to try to approach disease. There are at least 91; for example, drug trials going on now.” — Dr. Richard Hodes.
