      This list of books and films and other projects, compiled by medical journalist Laura Newman, highlights how effective stories and storytelling and especially sharing and retelling of stories can be in combatting and coping with memory loss: http://www.patientpov.org/books/acclaimed-books-films-and-projects-about-alzheimer%E2%80%99s-disease-other-dementias-and-memory-loss

      I'm happy to support this project because this story is a personal journey, but also a universal one that bears sharing and retelling on a universal scale.

      Just today, I stumbled on the story of another mountain climbing expedition in search of self and soul: http://act.alz.org/site/TR/Events/Tributes-AlzheimersChampions…

      That site (one of many) has several thousands of similar tributes.

      Storytelling is the way that we learn to hear as well as listen, to learn and grow, to bond, and to overcome our fears. I hope this project reaches its funding goal.
