Project 71

Finding and sharing the beauty in life's challenges. Living with FTD (Frontal Temporal Dementia) and everything in between, one step at a time.

Project 71 Backstory:

"What age would you take before you showed any symptoms?", Dave asked his wife, Sarah. "Seventy-one", she replied. Project 71 was born. Sarah was diagnosed as carrying a hereditary gene that will bring on early-onset dementia, as it did her dad, uncle, auntie and grandmother. We have built our lives around the concept of living our best life because of this diagnosis, not in spite of it. We don't know how long we have together, but we live to make our lives and others' lives as meaningful as possible.
