I have covered historic global events such the Tiananmen Square uprising and the fall of the Berlin Wall. <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/2020\/video\/family-curse-early-alzheimers-part-12092844\">However, in my decades of covering people, there is one story above all that has left a lasting impression<\/a>. Here is the story behind the story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><strong>A Mysterious Disease<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">In 1996, I met the Noonan family. A close-knit Irish clan blessed with a wicked wit, but cursed with a rare disease\u2014early onset Alzheimer&#8217;s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">At the time, not much was known about this mysterious disease, which robs people of their memories. After years of rapid decline, those afflicted died as young as in their forties or fifties. Someone unlucky enough to carry the gene passed down from one of their parents has a high likelihood of contracting the disease and possibly passing it to the next generation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">In the Noonan family of ten brothers and sisters, five would likely have the disease and five would be lucky enough to escape\u2014a hideous twist of fate. Those who are spared still aren&#8217;t saved from the cruel sadness of having to watch as the others fade and pass away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><strong>The Noonan Family<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/2020\/video\/family-curse-early-alzheimers-part-12092844\">What led me to the Noonan family and tell their story?<\/a> An unexplained neurological disease had touched my own family\u2019s life. I relentlessly read about the latest news on the brain. I was haunted by a story I had come across about scientists who had just discovered a gene responsible for early onset Alzheimer\u2019s. It was a big science story, but I wanted to tell the story in a personal way, about the people who were affected by the disease and by such a monumental genetic discovery. How to find a family to tell the story? No scientist would reveal the identity of subjects, even if they knew who they were. I researched and read all the background material I could get my hands on. The phenomenal team of in-house librarians then employed by ABC News was instrumental. Old school shoe leather led me from one person to another and another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Finally one source agreed to take a message to the Noonans. Would they be interested in telling their story on ABC\u2019s 20\/20 to a national television audience?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">The family had agreed to meet me in person with no promise or guarantee that they would go public.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><strong>Consequences of Storytelling<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">In the age of oversharing on Facebook and Twitter, it is almost quaint to recall the Noonans&#8217; reticence. They were right to be cautious. The story had all kinds of implications and ramifications. How would their employers and health insurers react. Would they lose their jobs and the crucial health insurance that came with those jobs? It was a time when a pre-existing condition like a genetic predisposition for a disease could prompt the revocation of precious health care coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">None too hopeful, I drove to Cape Cod, where the family had gathered to hear from me. With no GPS for a guide, I arrived late at night, alone, in a terrible foggy storm. When I met the brothers and sisters, they were polite, but wary and anxious. They had already witnessed the untimely death of their young mother and the mother\u2019s twin sister from early onset Alzheimer\u2019s. With the news of the genetic discovery, they faced a cruel equation\u2014half of them would get the disease that claimed their mother and aunt and yet at the time no one knew who would succumb. The other important question was: what would it mean for their children and grandchildren?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><strong>Signs of Forgetting<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">They were in the midst of grappling with unfathomable turmoil. By telling their story they would re-experience their painful past as they struggled to come to grips with an uncertain future. Time was running out. One sister was already showing signs of forgetting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Even as I made my case, spoke about the ethics of journalism I lived by\u2014the twin pillars of fairness and accuracy\u2014I counseled them to do only what was best for them. After hours of answering their detailed questions and concerns, they asked me to leave the room for a family vote. They insisted the vote had to be unanimous. I waited and heard loud but indecipherable words from down the hall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Finally, Julie, the family spokesperson, summoned me back in. They agreed to tell their story. What persuaded them to talk, they said, were my effort to meet them, my honesty, and answers to their questions. While we all understood the risk for them, the family believed that telling the public would help others who lived in the shadows of the disease\u2014alone in secrecy and shame.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">The Noonans personify courage\u2014they opened their hearts and let me and millions of viewers into their homes and lives. Their interviews were emotional poetry spoken from the depths of their Irish souls, it contained the beauty and cruelty of life. As we videotaped, my camera crew and I could barely contain our tears. The Noonans generously offered first-hand knowledge and insight about the heartbreak of the disease while dispensing priceless wisdom about how to live an indelible life in spite of it. I will always be grateful to them for sharing their heroic saga.<!--more--><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.impactmania.com\/im\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Alzheimers-ABC-News-Carla-De-Landri_impactmania.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-13635\" src=\"https:\/\/www.impactmania.com\/im\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Alzheimers-ABC-News-Carla-De-Landri_impactmania.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"793\" height=\"609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.impactmania.com\/im\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Alzheimers-ABC-News-Carla-De-Landri_impactmania-200x154.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.impactmania.com\/im\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Alzheimers-ABC-News-Carla-De-Landri_impactmania-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.impactmania.com\/im\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Alzheimers-ABC-News-Carla-De-Landri_impactmania-400x307.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.impactmania.com\/im\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Alzheimers-ABC-News-Carla-De-Landri_impactmania-600x461.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.impactmania.com\/im\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Alzheimers-ABC-News-Carla-De-Landri_impactmania-768x590.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.impactmania.com\/im\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Alzheimers-ABC-News-Carla-De-Landri_impactmania.jpg 793w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 793px) 100vw, 793px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/2020\/video\/family-curse-early-alzheimers-part-12092844\">Carla De Landri produced one of the first network news stories about early onset of Alzheimer&#8217;s.
