People with Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease (EOAD) have played an important part in solving the mysteries behind Alzheimer’s disease. Families with EOAD contributed to early genetic studies because the disease pattern, unfortunately, was seen in multiple generations. We who are affected by EOA and Related Diseases want to continue to be a major participant in seeking and finding ways of curing and preventing neurological symptoms. Early Onset Disease has the most profound impact both on families and society by challenging young families physically, mentally and emotionally. Not only stressing financial futures but often striking before there is even a chance for financial security.

Introducing:  Where We Turn Blocks Into Bridges

Camp Building Bridges is a "Pilot" Program respite camp for young teens ages 13-16 that have parents with dementia, specifically Alzheimer's Disease and Frontal Temporal Lobe Dementia. Camp Building Bridges is funded by the Hille Foundation and public donations in the hopes that this camp can bridge nation wide in the future to make the camp more accessible to other families.  To learn more about this camp, visit the Camp Building Bridges web site.
