DC has treated us very well. We have met very wonderful and powerful people within the Alzheimer’s movement. We have captured a number of diverse stories including, a woman with Young Onset Alzheimer’s, an 11 year old daughter of a man with Young Onset Dementia and two Music and Art therapists.

Us, our pigs and the monument

We owe a huge thanks to Brett, Nina, James, Sonya, and Vito for letting us house and Vito sit while they were on vacation.  It was a tremendous help in giving us a base to move around the city. I have bonded with Vito and he will be in my heart forever. It is hard to say goodbye, but I have memories to get me through the longing.

Max and Vito

Thank you to the Alzheimer’s Association here in the capital area for connecting us to the right places and to everyone else who has helped us so far.

Katie, George and Em

P.S. Here is a photo of Katie, a high school friend who let us stay with her for a couple of days. Next to her is George, who is a fellow cyclist who we met on a bike path. He recently got back from a 400okm tour from Athens to London. He gave us a cycling tour of the city.
