Valley Life for All is building inclusive communities, one voice at a time. Diane's sister Sheryl was diagnosed with Young Onset Alzheimer’s in January of 2013. When Sheyl and her husband decided to move from Los Angeles to the Roaring Fork Valley, Diane recreated a program called Brain Train, part of OPICA Adult Day Care Services that Sheryl was attending in California. Having flourished with help from Senior Matters, Brain Train will rebrand under the name of Roaring Fork Enrichment in January of 2019. More information about the Inclusion Campaign is availablehere.
