This year?????????????s caregiver conference, ???????????Living Life with Meaning & Purpose???????????, will feature Betsy and Molly Arnold of the Barbara Broyles Legacy.
Betsy Arnold is a daughter of Coach Frank Broyles and president/CEO of the Barbara Broyles Legacy, a nonprofit organization rising from the family's advocacy for Alzheimer's caregivers. Molly McCall Arnold is a granddaughter of Coach Broyles and director of marketing and media of the Barbara Broyles Legacy.
When Coach Broyles, wife Barbara was diagnosed with Alzheimer?????????????s disease, the family did not know much about the disease or the impact it would have on their lives; much of what they learned was trial and error. The family made a pact that one day they would share with other families dealing with Alzheimer?????????????s all that they had learned from their experiences.
???????????Coach Broyles????????????? Playbook for Alzheimer?????????????s Caregivers,??????????? originally released in 2006, is designed like a coach?????????????s playbook and includes information and practical tips to help families meet the needs of their loved ones suffering from Alzheimer?????????????s disease. The book was inspired by the Broyles family?????????????s personal experience. A FREE copy of the book is included in the conference registration.
Our vision is a world without Alzheimer's Formed in 1980, the Alzheimer's Association is the world's leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support and research.
