📋 Exercise Benefits Care Recipients and Caregivers (AARP Article)

FROM THE ARTICLE:

How Physical Activity Benefits Care Recipients — and Caregivers.

By Paul Wynn, AARP. Published May 30, 2025.

When Catherine Popp was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s in 2014, her partner, Anthony Copeland-Parker, turned their passion for running marathons and 5Ks into a full-time caregiving strategy. Drawing from research that shows immobility accelerates health decline in patients with dementia, Copeland-Parker made movement their medicine, keeping Popp active and walking, sometimes six to 10 miles a day.
