Larry Dukes of Frankfort was living the retirement life to the fullest.

He retired from a career in sales in 2011, and since then, his days have been full of golfing, gardening, bowling and traveling with his wife Shirley to rock concerts. He even bought his dream car, a Porsche Boxster S, and traveled the backroads of Kentucky with the local Porsche club.

Sanders-Brown is the envy of Alzheimer’s research centers around the country for our leadership in the fight against dementia. We are much more than a research center, however. It our mission to help patients and their families here and now, not just those who may suffer from dementia later. Our outreach programs connect patients and their families with the resources they need to manage the day-to-day ups and downs that is life with Alzheimer’s disease.
