GOAL & IMPACT

Our goal is to move around the world as a community while bringing awareness to dementia and the importance of brain health. Proceeds will go toward increasing awareness and providing relief for family caregivers taking care of their loved ones with dementia through our Care For the Caregivers Relief Program.

CFTC Relief Program provides a one-time grant to bring financial relief + education on additional care resources specific to the caregiver's needs. This program provide direct relief and connection to live-in caregivers/ families caring for their loved ones with dementia 24/7.

No individual or family affected by a brain degenerative disease (dementia) should feel alone or lost in this life altering journey. Instead, they should feel connected, understood and empowered to take on what is to come.
