Ted McDermott has Alzheimer's disease and often struggles to remember who his family and friends are. Therefore, in an attempt to make his life better, his son Mac started looking for ways to improve his dad's memory. His father has a huge passion for music, and even spent some of his younger years singing in bars and clubs across the United Kingdom. Despite his severe memory loss, Mac realized that his father still recognizes his favorite tunes and even sings along to them when they come on. In fact, his knowledge of songs is so vast, he is known as "The Songaminute Man." Furthermore, when he is singing, he seems to remember who his friends and family are.
Therefore, Mac started to sing along with his dad and the pair have now begun to record their singing sessions - they're working on raising money for Alzheimer's research through crowdfunding, and from the proceeds of their album sales.
This terrible disease affects so many people around the world, and while Ted McDermott still struggles with day-to-day life, Mac has found a sweet way to bring their family together while also raising money for a great cause.
