Research into Alzheimer’s disease is progressing, and it is hoped that one day this terrible disease will be better treated and will no longer be such a daily ordeal for patients and their families.Simon’s father, who suffered from Alzheimer’s disease for several years, was oblivious to his family and became aggressive. Then Simon, his son, had a brilliant idea that changed everything.
In recent years, the disease has taken away many of his memories. Ted doesn’t even recognize his family. Fortunately, his son Mac has found a way to bring his father back… if only for a moment. As Ted’s memory worsened, so did his mood.”Over the last few years, his memory has deteriorated a lot. He doesn’t recognize me, his son. The disease has also caused him to have many outbursts of aggression and violence. However, his son Simon didn’t give up hope and came up with a genius idea to call his father back, if only for a few minutes.
Ted doesn’t remember much about his life, but surprisingly, music seems to work wonders. As a young man, he played and sang all over Great Britain. Music has always been a great passion for him.And even though Ted’s illness has taken a heavy toll on him, words and rhythm are still in his blood. In the video we see father and son singing together.
In the video we see father and son singing together, both of them playing the notes of one of their favorite songs. When Simon realized his father was “disappearing,” he recorded one of Ted’s favorite songs, and suddenly his father came back and sang the song.
Simon started a Facebook page and a YouTube channel where you can see them sharing these special moments. They are also recording their songs so that more people can get into the idea of singing along with someone with Alzheimer’s. Simon and Ted have also started a fundraiser to release an entire album together. 25% of the proceeds will also go to Alzheimer’s research.
