Meet the Founders of AlzAuthors! In episode 73, my co-host, Don Priess, and I had the unique pleasure of speaking with the three co-founders of AlzAuthors.com. In 2016, our guests, Marianne Sciucco, Jean Lee, and Vicki Tapia, founded the non-profit AlzAuthors.com, a global community of over 300 writers who are writing all about dementia from their personal experience. This ever-growing global community is united in an effort to light the way for others, with a vision of lifting the silence and stigma surrounding Alzheimer’s and other dementias through the sharing of personal stories.
If you're writing your own story or are thinking about it, this is a must see/hear episode! Regardless, you will be enriched by this dynamic trio who are truly Caregiver Crusaders!
You can find out more about AlzAuthors on their Website and their podcast, Untangling Alzheimer's and Dementia.

Susie really understands the power of storytelling. This film promises to pack a much-needed gut punch that will force the public to look at our health-care system that is literally collapsing around us.

She has attracted an impressive list of the most respected and staunch advocates to contribute to the film.
