On today’s episode we’re discussing caregiving and how each caregiver’s journey is unique. We’re joined by Amanda Caroluzzi from Newtown, CT and John Newby from Harpswell, ME. Amanda is a “sandwich generation” caregiver currently caring for her mother who is living with Alzheimer’s while also raising a one-year-old son. John is a caregiver for his wife, Venus, who is living with younger-onset Alzheimer’s. The two share their unique experiences, challenges, and tips for other caregivers. They also chat about their involvement in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s and how it has become a therapeutic experience for them.

Today we’re joined by Sarah Barclay from Newport, Rhode Island and Stuart McLeod from Needham, Massachusetts who both faced the heartbreak of a loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and turned their grief into action. Sarah’s family founded the Block Island Walk to End Alzheimer’s in honor of their mother, Sandy, and Stuart began his own fundraiser called The Washburn Challenge in honor of his sister, Sara. The two discuss the how they found purpose through raising funds and awareness, and the importance of helping fund Alzheimer’s research in the new era of treatment.
