After a diagnosis of dementia, a lot of feelings and emotions happen. The Miles for Memories' "What's Next" card can help guide families and caregivers as it relates to the next steps during this time (hear more about the "What's Next" card by listening to this previous episode).

Another of those steps is to have a conversation about caregiving as early as possible. That's the word from lead Miles for Memories volunteer and founder Sherii Sherban in this episode of Creating Dementia Solutions.

ABOUT MILES FOR MEMORIES

Miles For Memories is a Calhoun County, Michigan organization created in 2013 to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s Disease. Later in 2014, the vision was expanded to include all types of dementia. MFM raises money each year through sponsorships, community events, and grants to gather funds to create local programming for both the person living with dementia and the caregiver. Along with local efforts, 20% of the funds to prevention-related dementia research. Miles for Memories is a committee of 70-plus volunteers and are always looking for more to get involved.
