Adrienne Zausner was a successful business woman who had an unbounded passion for exceptional food - food that tasted great!  One of her life's goals was to understand the essence of food and how to cook it.  She was diagnosed 10 years ago with FTD dementia which has destroyed her ability to speak, read, write or cook, though she still enjoys her food.  I wrote the book Cooking with Adrienne to preserve and share her love of food and her infectious joie de vivre.   During the campaign I will be donating 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the book to The AFTD. You can buy the book on Amazon.com

AFTD's Food for Thought campaign is a grassroots fundraising and awareness raising campaign timed to overlap with World FTD Awareness Week.  The campaign will run from September 25th through October 9th.

Please help support the work of the AFTD in Adrienne's name and share this page with your friends via email, social media and/or text message.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.

About FTD: Frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) is the most common form of dementia for people under the age of 60. It strikes in the prime of life, gradually eroding an individual’s personality: their ability to speak, make sound decisions, control their movements, behave within social norms and relate to those they love. FTD devastates familial relationships, finances and even the health of family caregivers themselves. Currently there are no approved treatments, and most providers lack knowledge of appropriate care. Average life expectancy is 7-13 years after the start of symptoms.
