(Huntington Beach, CA)— Alzheimer’s Family Services Center is proud to be featured in the unique HBO series aiming to change how people think about Alzheimer’s. HBO initiated The Alzheimer’s Project to raise awareness and funding to find a cure. This unprecedented series of four documentaries, aired May 10-12, is now available online at www.HBO.com/alzheimers.
The Alzheimer’s Project begins with "The Memory Loss Tapes,” an up-close and personal look at seven individuals living with Alzheimer's, across the full spectrum of the disease."Momentum In Science, a two-part state-of-the-science film, takes viewers inside the laboratories and clinics of 25 leading scientists and physicians, revealing some of the most cutting-edge research advances. "'Grandpa, Do You Know Who I Am?” with Maria Shriver captures what it means to be a child or grandchild of one with Alzheimer's, while "Caregivers" highlights the sacrifices and successes of people who experience a loved one's descent into dementia.
Alzheimer’s Family Services Center board member Terry McKenna and his wife Suzanne Caffey-McKenna participated in the fourth and final documentary, “Caregivers.” Terry and Suzanne share the story of their new life together after many years of Terry caring for his late wife, Pat, who died of Alzheimer’s disease. Additionally, viewers see Terry and Suzanne interacting with participants at the center as they explain why they support AFSC.
“We are truly grateful to HBO for including AFSC in such an innovative project. We loved working with all of the HBO staff to make this happen. Moreover, we consider ourselves lucky to have Terry and Suzanne so supportive of our center and thank them for their willingness to share their story,” stated Cordula Dick-Muehlke, Ph.D., Executive Director of AFSC.
