1:10pm Keynote Presentation: CRISIS. COURAGE. RESOLVE. A Caregivers Journey Lisa Radin & Gary Radin Lisa Radin and her son, Gary Radin, provided complete care for their husband and father Neil Radin over a four-year period after he was diagnosed with frontotemporal degeneration (FTD). Based on their firsthand experience with this devastating and terminal illness, they compiled a collection of expert articles on FTD and dementia and published the book What If It’s Not Alzheimer’s? A Caregivers Guide to Dementia, now in its third edition. In 1998, following Neil’s death, they founded the Neil L. Radin Caregivers Relief Foundation to help support caregivers. In 1999 they were involved in planning the first Multidisciplinary Conference on Pick’s Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia in Philadelphia. In 2000, Lisa also helped organize the Frontotemporal Dementia and Pick’s Disease Criteria Conference at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. In 2003, she became a founding member of the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration and is currently a special-events consultant for the Alzheimer’s Association Delaware Valley chapter. Gary and Lisa continue to support fundraising efforts for these organizations, speak about their experience as caregiver’s and are both facilitators for support groups serving those in need.
