A few weeks ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I won’t lie—it's been incredibly challenging for me and my family.
Now, I’m embarking on a journey to answer the questions so many of us face when it comes to providing care for our loved ones.
I hope you’ll join me.

An estimated 5.4M children and adolescents in the U.S. are direct caregivers for family members. Some of those kids and teens—who cared for a loved one battling ALS— get to be kids again at Camp HLC.
It’s a place where caregiving, love & fun meet. Their experiences are shared, felt, and understood.
