In observance of Alzheimer's Disease Awareness month, we sit down with patient advocate Kathi Herzog -- who was diagnosed with moderate Alzheimer's earlier this year. While not a rare condition, Alzheimer's research has informed the search for treatments in rare neurodegenerative conditions and Kathi's journey to diagosis will probably sound very familiar to the rare community. Kathi's husband, Dave, also joins us to talk about their journey together and why caregivers need support as well.
