Episode notes

Toni travels solo in this deeply moving interview with her old friend Gina Martin. Gina has worked for National Geographic for 21 years and is the Founder and Executive Director of the Bob and Diane Fund, an award for visual storytelling about Alzheimer’s and dementia. During their conversation, Gina shares the story of how the Bob and Diane Fund came to life and in the process gives a glimpse into the trajectory of her mother’s illness and the effect it had on her family. Her story will resonate with anyone who has known, cared for or loved another human being with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Toni and Gina discuss what the fund means for the visual artists as well as the awareness it brings to the disease and the caregivers that lose so much of themselves in the process.
