Summary

All Home Care Matters was honored to welcome Renee Schyjer as a guest to the show to share her story and book "It's Not a Rumour: A Rock & Roll Journey Through Life and Alzheimer's."

Renaissance woman, truth-seeker, and storyteller, Renee Schyjer is devoted to sharing the life and legacy of her husband, 80's Power Pop legend Freddy Moore, diagnosed almost a decade ago with early-onset Alzheimer's. For years, Freddy was center stage, a prolific singer/songwriter/musician who sold out iconic Los Angeles clubs and opened for headlining bands like The Police, The Knack, and The Motels.

Armed with their love story that spans decades and Freddy's memoir, It's Not A Rumour: A Rock & Roll Journey Through Life and Alzheimer's, Renee is reaching out to music lovers and families impacted by this disease. By telling untold stories of their lives "before and after," she hopes to provide support, healing, and connection while driving awareness and research for this disruptive and heartbreaking disease.
