Where connection grows deep, and support feels like home.
This is where understanding takes root, where compassion finds its voice, and where support becomes something you can feel. Here, stories anchor us, hearts meet each other, and no one carries FTD alone. Together, we remember, we uplift, and we create something meaningful for everyone touched by FTD.
Co-Founders, Rachael Martinez & Maria Kent Beers, former caregivers to parents Frank and Lia, who passed from Frontotemporal Degeneration in 2020.
Our Mission
The Remember Me Foundation, Inc. is on a mission to honor and support families affected by FTD at every stage of the journey—from diagnosis to end of life and into the next chapter. Through connection, education, and heartfelt support, The Remember Me Foundation aims to uplift families, ensure no one walks alone, and build a community rooted in care and belonging.
As we build together, we invite you to join us in creating a community where care, strength, and belonging grow stronger with each step.
How we started.
In 2020, a chance Instagram exchange between two daughters navigating life with FTD quietly set something meaningful in motion. Maria, a caregiver to her mother Lia, living with FTD-ALS in Boston, connected with Rachael, who was caring for her father Frank, diagnosed with bvFTD in Los Angeles. What began as a simple conversation—and a shared idea to create a podcast—quickly evolved into something far greater: a safe, compassionate space where caregivers could be seen, heard, and understood.
Fast forward to 2025, The Remember Me Podcast has become a trusted and recognized resource within the FTD community, with over 150 episodes amplifying stories, education, and lived experience. As the podcast grew, so did its impact. Witnessing the profound connection and support it fostered, it became clear that the work could not end there. Behind the scenes, a new vision took shape—one rooted in expanding care, deepening support, and building something lasting. From that vision, The Remember Me Foundation was born, committed to growing alongside the community it serves.
Where we’re heading.
As the FTD community continues to grow, so does the need for meaningful, accessible support—support that meets families where they are and evolves alongside them. Looking ahead, The Remember Me Foundation is focused on deepening its impact by expanding beyond awareness into tangible care, connection, and relief for those living with and loving someone with FTD.
Our work is guided by the voices of caregivers and families who remind us daily that no one should navigate this journey alone. In the years ahead, we are committed to creating more spaces for shared stories, strengthening educational resources, and developing programs that offer practical support, respite, and connection across all stages of the disease.
At the heart of everything ahead is a deep belief in remembering the whole person—not just the diagnosis—and in caring for the people who carry the love, the grief, and the responsibility every single day.
We are building a future where caregivers feel less alone, where stories continue to be told and held with care, and where families know that even in the hardest seasons, there is community walking beside them. This is where we’re heading: toward connection, dignity, and a lasting sense of being remembered.
