the heartache this disease inflicts on caregivers, and we’re here to give them the support and
knowledge they need to become strong care partners – and to find joy in even the darkest
moments. And we’re working to make Alzheimer’s a disease of the past, by connecting people to
clinical trials and funding research for a cure. Amy has presented workshops in the St. Paul's
