When Barbara Corcoran decided it was time to speak out about the way Alzheimer’s disease shaped her family’s life, it was no surprise that she was all in.

Corcoran, the fast-talking extrovert who doesn’t mince words on ABC’s Shark Tank, had been silent about her mother Florence’s struggles with the disease and how Corcoran and her nine siblings took charge of their mother’s care. They grew up with their grandmother (Florence’s mother) living with the family. She also had Alzheimer’s. Florence’s four brothers were later diagnosed with the disease and died from it as well.
