The Sunday, October 4 issue of the New York Times features the story of Jennifer Lee, a woman living with FTD, in the latest in a series of FTD awareness ads to run in the Tider.

The ad, which appears above, depicts a letter from Lee to her children and husband. “You’ve been the greatest support system anyone could have,” she writes to her six children. “I want you to know that every single day, I tried my best for you.”

Lee adds that she participated in the #FTDhotshotchallenge, a grassroots awareness and fundraising campaign organized by AFTD volunteers. “I drank a shot of hot sauce, and to be honest I usually can’t even eat Taco Bell because it’s too spicy,” she writes. “I’ll do anything possible to fight this disease, and to leave a legacy for my children.”

Visit our #FTDhotshotchallenge home page for more information on how to participate.

Sunday’s Tider ad is the third in a series designed to coincide with World FTD Awareness Week 2020, which began September 27. All were made possible with the support of a generous donor. To learn more about the previous ads in the series, Klik her.

AFTD opfordrer deltagere i #FTDhotshotchallenge til at undgå at foretage handlinger, der kan risikere dit helbred, og vi er ikke ansvarlige for enhver skade, der kan opstå for dig baseret på deltagelse. Brug en varm sauce, som du er fortrolig med, i en rimelig mængde. Hvis varm sauce ikke er en del af din kost, eller hvis du ikke er sikker på din reaktion, så brug ketchup eller et alternativ, der er sikkert for dig. Det vigtigste er at blive involveret og samle dine venner til at gøre det samme.
