Husband Takes Care Of Wife With Alzheimer's For 17 Years

Each and every day, Dan Summers takes care of his wife Joan. Joan has late-stage Alzheimer's disease and Dan has been caring for her for over 17 years.

Dan knows just how heartbreaking this terrible disease can be, but his devotion to Joan has never wavered. Dan and Joan always love Jaguars so he spent the time to restore a 1968 Jaguar and paint it purple and gold for Alzheimer's awareness. Everywhere they go, people always ask about this unusual car and Dan is happy to tell them his story. Not every day is easy but Dan knows that Joan is worth every second. He hopes that he can bring awareness to this devastating disease and one day help find a cure so that other families do not have to deal with this heartache.

Dan is such an inspiration as a husband and caretaker. I'm praying for anyone affected by this awful disease.
