We started the "Cotton Wool in my Head" foundation to build on the remarkable collection of personal experiences published by Jacques Boersma. He is keen on reaching out to people that experience mild coginitive impairment (MCI) or dementia, caused by Alzheimer's or other diseases. What does it mean to live with increasing limitations to your cognitive abilities? What happens to you when it eventually develops into a type of dementia? How do you cope with an Alzheimer diagnosis? How do people look at you and how do you respond to that? But also: what do we know about the disease, what can we do to fight it, is it effective at all and how does that make you feel? It's all about communicating the personal experience, bringing it to life.
