A former governor of Wisconsin will share his story and offer important information to you on supporting those impacted by Alzheimer's disease in Door County next Wednesday. Governor Marty Schreiber will speak at Sunshine Resources in Sturgeon Bay, trumpeting a message of hope and the importance of becoming more involved in changing the course of the devastating disease of Alzheimer's. Drawing on personal experience, Schreiber shared the last time he was in Sturgeon Bay that it is important for a caregiver to reach out for help while dealing with a loved one with Alzheimer's.
Schreiber wrote a book "My Two Elaines", sharing his wife's struggle with Alzheimers' before her passing in 2022 after a 20-year battle with the disease. The "Learning, Coping & Surviving As An Alzheimer's Caregiver" program is sponsored by the Alzheimer's Association.
