Today I want to digress a bit from the subject of my mother to tell you about a young caregiver whose father has been suffering from the debilitating effects of Alzheimer’s. This young man has undertaken an extensive project to raise awareness on the need for funding Alzheimer research and, at the same time, creating a mobile app for helping families deal with this horrific disease.
This project includes a documentary that is the story about his climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro with his father-in-law an adventurer, the author himself as a father-to-be, and his own father suffering from Alzheimer’s. To view a brief video on the project and how you may participate, go to: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zachjordan/carpe-kilimanjaro-a-transmedia-project .
