World FTD Awareness Week 2021: FTD Stories

Join the global conversation for 2021 World FTD Awareness Week!

World FTD United invites those whose lives have been touched by frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) to tell their FTD story by video or text. Stories will be shared during World FTD Awareness Week, September 26 through October 3, 2021.

Whether you are an FTD-diagnosed person, family member, care partner, healthcare professional, or a friend, you are encouraged to add your individual perspective to the worldwide conversation.

If you share content by the August 27 deadline, part or all of your brief (1-2 minute) submission will become part of a special video produced by World FTD United, to be broadcast during World FTD Awareness Week.

World FTD Awareness Week is a special time to focus on what FTD is, increase awareness, and provide education. It includes events, activism, and international engagement.

The week is an initiative of World FTD United, a coalition of several organizations throughout the world. It is held each year near the end of September or in early October.

No matter wherever you live, if you have an FTD story to tell, your story can be part of this year’s global conversation about FTD!

To submit your entry, visit WorldFTDunited.net and click “Your Story” at the top of the website. Provide your name and email address, and indicate your relationship to FTD. Then choose whether you want to submit a video or a written story.

Whether you choose to create a video or submit a written story, a helpful handout has been prepared with tips to guide you through the process.

Deadline is August 27, 2021.
