The Alzheimers Association tells us about the impact that the disease can have on people in this touching animation.

In it, we follow the story of one man and his mother. He tells us how one day, at a stop sign, he realised that his mother was showing symptoms of Alzheimers. All of a sudden, she couldn’t remember the way home, even though she had done the same journey countless times. The animation shows us how things that were once familiar can seem to “fade away” for no reason.
