Part 2: Fatou with Anne and Brian Reece on their Journey with Younger Onset Alzheimer's
Manage episode 295520650 series 2830068
In this episode, I had the honor and pleasure of speaking with Mr. and Mrs. Brian and Anne Marie Reece. Brian W. Reece, Sr spent 4 years serving our country in the United States Marine Corp in machine maintenance and repair. At the age of 56, Brian was given the diagnosis of younger onset Alzheimer’s Disease. Brian and his wife Anne, a special education teacher, merged their two families together almost 30 years ago with 4 grown sons and now 14 grandchildren! Anne retired after 27 years of teaching as a special education teacher, and now uses her teaching skills to help Brian to learn new things and to help Brian with strategies for his short term memory. Together, Anne and Brian are a formidable team, helping Brian to prepare for the challenges that Alzheimer’s Disease brings. I am excited to share their story with you as we honor Families Impacted by Dementia during Brain Health Awareness Month
