Today we're introducing you to Jim Rogers, who, in amongst a wild and vibrant life, has been diagnosed with younger-onset dementia.
So generous, and such an amazing storyteller, Jim tells us the three acts of his life, so far.
The grief of losing his first love, the surprise of his second, and the shock of a dementia diagnosis at 55, this conversation left Hugh, Ryan, and Josh with an invigorated sense for the preciousness of life, love, and family.
In Jim’s words, dementia strips you of the most important things: your memory and recognition of your loved ones, as well as your ability to make choices for your own wellbeing.
Dementia affects the lives of more than 421,000 individual Australians, and countless family members, loved ones and carers. There is no known cure for dementia, however there are treatments for many of the symptoms.
This episode is heart-breaking and heart-warming in the same breath, and we know you’re about to fall in love with Jim, just like we did.
Special thanks to Hamish Macdonald, and the Dementia Australia team, who introduced us to Jim.
