People Who Took the LEAP!
Our LEAP! participants are why we do what we do. We are passionate about helping you take charge of your brain health.
This program has given me a whole new lease on life! I feel like I have a new purpose.
I have read a number of books and websites about Alzheimer’s so I was concerned that your class might repeat what I had already learned. I was so pleased to find out that this was not the case. I learned a great deal from your classes that I had not known.
After seeing the drop in my blood pressure numbers, my doctor asked me what I have been doing this summer. I told him about the program, and he said, “Well, keep doing it!”
Thanks again for letting me know about the available spot for the LEAP! workshop yesterday. I enjoyed it very much; it’s one of the best presentations I’ve attended so far at the KU center. I look forward to more in the future.
