Dementia is the sixth-leading cause of death in the U.S., killing more people than breast and prostate cancer combined. Often, we tend to pass off dementia as a disease that causes people to “be forgetful.”

The 45-year-old from Ohio has started a YouTube channel to show the painfully devastating toll that the disease can have on an entire family.
His 67-year-old mother, Molly, was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia at the age of 65. She now lives in an assisted living home where someone helps to bathe her, feed her, giver her medicine and do everything that she once was able to do on her own.
