Linda Dano knows how hard Alzheimer's disease can be on relatives. The soap opera star cared for her father who suffered from the disease until his death in 1996. Now she wants to help others coping with loved ones stricken by Alzheimer's.
Dano has joined the National Family Caregivers Association in launching a campaign designed to provide information, resources and support to caregivers and their families during National Alzheimer's Disease Month in November.
"I cared for my dad for almost five years, and it was completely overwhelming. I didn't know what to do or where to turn," said Dano.
