Stronger Together

Meet the Redwoods

"Redwoods stand tall and stately—but did you know their roots are surprisingly shallow? They draw strength from one another with a root system that intertwines and fuses together, forming a vast, supportive network beneath the surface. The FTD community is much the same. Bound together, we hold up each other through this difficult journey, helping one another weather the storm.

No one faces FTD alone. We ARE the Redwoods, the survivors and forever a voice for our loved ones that have lost theirs."
-Sharon Hall, FTD Care Partner, Advocate and Proud Redwood
