It's nice that she's raising the awareness of the caregivers; I know someone who drives patients to the hospital for their appointments; sometimes he drives 2 or 3 hours at a time for one person

any of us could be needing the help of caregiver one day; I hope the Star Campaign has helped to enlist new caregivers as well

nice clip
