When someone you love receives a diagnosis of early-onset dementia or Alzheimer’s, the instinct might be to stay put, to retreat into the familiar and safe. Yet there’s another path: one where you refuse to let the disease dictate the rhythm of your life together. Traveling with a partner who has dementia is undoubtedly harder than traveling before the diagnosis, but it’s far from impossible. It requires rethinking what adventure means, shifting expectations, and building flexibility into every plan. Running With Cat documents exactly this kind of journey. Anthony and Catherine faced the…

The Dream of Running Every Continent The idea of running a marathon on every continent captures something in the human spirit. It’s the ultimate endurance challenge, a way to merge physical achievement with global exploration. But is it actually possible?

The Diagnosis That Changes Everything When Catherine received her Early-Onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis in her fifties, it was the kind of news that stops time. For those living through it, especially as a partner and caregiver, the reality doesn’t match what most people imagine from the disease’s name. Early-Onset Alzheimer’s doesn’t announce itself with dramatic memory loss on day one. Instead, it arrives quietly, in small moments that you might dismiss until they start accumulating. What many people don’t realize is that Alzheimer’s progresses differently for everyone. Catherine�…

Caregiving is one of the hardest things a person can take on. When the person you love has Alzheimer’s, the emotional weight is relentless.

Caregiving is one of the hardest things a person can take on. When the person you love has Alzheimer’s, the emotional weight is relentless. The grief is layered, the exhaustion is real, and the moments of joy can feel fragile. Many caregivers describe a slow erosion of their own identity as the role consumes more and more of daily life.

When his partner Catherine was diagnosed with Early-Onset Alzheimer’s, An…
