In a powerful conversation, Hello Alzheimer's host Karla Hult talks with Schele Williams, co-director of The Notebook, the Musical, and Molly McMillen, the Vice President of Marketing and Communications of the Alzheimer's Association, MN-ND Chapter.

The trio tackle the poignant new production of the beloved romance -- complete with a cast that better represents our greater community and the beautiful, complex characters of "Allie" and "Noah." They also address how dementia is increasingly showing up in many art forms and diverse platforms -- including Hollywood -- all of which provides affirmation and potential for greater outreach and support.

And Schele courageously shares from her heart, as a daughter walking alongside her parents... and especially, her mom, who's living with Alzheimer's disease.

Please enjoy every wise word of these beautiful guests. And please forgive Karla's raspy voice at the very beginning and end of this episode. :)
