At Adira, sharing your lived experiences impacted real change.

Listening was the heart of our approach—listen, learn, act—which means the point of view of the people most impacted by neurodegenerative diseases came first in everything we did.

We heard from and engaged with people living with our five focus diseases and their loved ones and caregivers in many ways: events, stories, surveys, volunteer and paid positions, and more. You can find all of them here.
