Raising Awareness and Funds for Frontotemporal Degeneration
We are excited to announce the FTD Walk for Hope 5K, a community event dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD), a devastating brain disorder that affects behavior, language, and personality. Unlike Alzheimer’s disease, FTD often strikes people in their 40's to 60's, leading to profound changes in relationships, work, and independence. There is currently no cure, and increased awareness and research funding are crucial.
Our walk supports the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD), a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
The FTD Walk for Hope 5K mission is to unite the community and honor those affected by FTD. All proceeds from this event will be donated to support The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration's (AFTD) mission. Funds will be designated 50% towards AFTD's FTD Research efforts and 50% towards AFTD's Comstock Grants, which provides financial assistance to families affected by FTD. Any unspent California-designated funds as of June 30, 2026, will be redirected to support individuals diagnosed with FTD or their caregivers in other states. Together, we can bring hope to families and move on step closer to a future free of FTD.”

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference. Together, we can bring hope to families and move one step closer to a future free of FTD.
