Show Notes

In the spirit of Thanksgiving and Giving Tuesday, we share a compelling story of resilience and generosity. Renowned American women's college basketball head coach Pat Summitt, celebrated for her Olympic achievements and Hall of Fame induction with 1,098 career wins, faced her most formidable challenge when diagnosed with Alzheimer's at 58. Together with her son Tyler Summitt, they founded the Pat Summitt Foundation in 2011. Dedicated to eradicating Alzheimer's, the foundation supports research, educates on the disease, and provides crucial care and support. Host Linda Robinson delves into this impactful journey and legacy in a poignant episode featuring Tyler Summitt.
