The 24-Hour Rule: Living with Alzheimer’s Today, Lori La Bey's guest on Alzheimer's Speaks Radio is an amazing woman with not only a wonderful heart but vision to help change the world.   In 2012, at age 56, Cheryl Levin-Folio's husband, Michael, was diagnosed with Early-Onset Alzheimer’s. Three years later, she retired to become his full-time, primary caregiver. Cheryl is now on a mission to help eradicate dementia, raise awareness, and help others like her negotiate the often treacherous path of care taking. She and her husband Michael face the disease with a positive attitude and proactive strategies for living with the Alzheimer’s. In the absence of finding a book to inspire Cheryl, she decided to keep a notebook of tips and strategies she picked up along the way. The result is her book The 24-Hour Rule: Living with Alzheimer’s.  Contact Cheryl Levin-Folio Email:  clevin03@yahoo.com                       Phone: 847-525-7104 Resources  Offered by Alzheimer's Speaks Webiste:  https://alzheimersspea
