Alzheimer's Across America - Caregiver Experiences. During a concentrated period spent with a loved one who is living with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, there is much to be learned. Kari Loya embarked on a long-held dream to cycle cross country with his father, despite the challenges posed by his father's Alzheimer's condition. Over a span of more than two months in close quarters with his father, Kari experienced a transformative journey. Discover the story of his cross-country trip and why it proved to be one of the most intelligent decisions he could have made. Caregiver experiences done right can make the journey much happier for all.
