About This Event

What does it actually feel like to live with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, and what happens when treatment starts working?

Mike Zuendel, founder of the Initiative to Change the “D-Word”, was diagnosed with MCI due to Alzheimer’s and has been on anti-amyloid therapy with remarkable results. In this community conversation, Mike shares what early symptoms felt like, how he knew the drug was working, and what life looks like when treatment may be keeping the disease at bay. For families living with familial Alzheimer’s disease, this is a hopeful glimpse into what this new era of treatment can mean.
