Although frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) is a devastating disease for all whose lives it touches, it remains far too little known and poorly understood. If you would like to help to change that, AFTD’s Food for Thought campaign is for you.

Food for Thought is a grassroots fundraising and awareness campaign focusing on food and FTD education. Held September 24-October 8, 2023, Food for Thought encompasses World FTD Awareness Week. During this time, people across the world “Take Time with Friends and Family. Take Action.”

Food for Thought hosts tell their stories, making people personally aware of FTD, while serving some food and raising funds to support AFTD’s mission. Hosts can hold any type of event—in person, virtual, or hybrid—as long as food and FTD education are involved.
