Zahydie Burgos Ribot and her husband Francisco Rios are passionately fulfilling their travel dreams together as Rios battles early-onset Alzheimer's disease. With the fear that Riosâ ability to form new memories is dwindling, they prioritize living every day with intention. Recent federal funding cuts to biomedical research threaten the clinical trial that may aid Rios, causing Ribot distress. This situation highlights the juxtaposition of cherished moments against the backdrop of daunting healthcare challenges and funding uncertainties, especially given the abrupt cancellation of numerous Alzheimerâs research grants by the NIH under the current administration.
Ribot emphasized, "We're choosing to live every single day with a lot of intention" as they navigate the challenges of Rios' Alzheimer's disease diagnosis.
As federal funding for biomedical research faces cuts, Ribot expressed concern about the impact on Rios' current treatment in an ongoing clinical trial.
