Frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) is the most common dementia for people under 60. Unlike Alzheimer's disease, FTD primary affects a person's behavior, personality, language and movement, rather than memory. Currently there are no treatments and no cure.

The World FTD Marathon (Oct. 3, 2020) was a first-of-its-kind, day-long event devoted entirely to spreading FTD awareness and information across the globe.
