    Journeys of courage and purpose

    Dr. Jeremy Tanner

    Researcher

    Growing up down the street from his grandparents, Dr. Jeremy Tanner was in high school when he saw his grandmother change as dementia took hold. “It was painful to watch,” he said. “The impact it had on her, but also on my grandfather and our whole family.”

    Todd Doty

    Individual living with Lewy

    Before Lewy body dementia (LBD) entered his life, Todd Doty was a successful IBM executive traveling the world and working with major clients. Outside the office, he was raising three children and pursuing his passion of golf, which he played competitively.

    Eliza Smith

    Community Fundraiser

    Eliza’s grandfather Philip loved fishing, hunting, boating and spending time with his family. When it was time for her to choose her Bat Mitzvah project, 12-year-old Eliza knew she wanted to honor his memory. Having seen the impact of LBD on her family – especially her grandmother, who became Philip’s care partner – she organized a dance-a-thon to raise money for LBDA.

    Reflecting on more than 30 years of loving marriage with his wife Nancy, Patrick Glithero describes her as both “my person” and “an anchor for everyone who met her.” She held a degree in special education and worked with people with disabilities.
