On February 20, McCormick posted a snapshot of her family from years ago on her Instagram page<\/a>. In the caption, she wrote, “Happy #NationalCaregiversDay. So grateful to my Mom and Dad who sacrificed each and every day with a heart full of love and patience<\/a> for my brother Denny.”<\/p>\n

Over the years, McCormick has spoken about her brother Denny frequently. As the Special Olympics website notes<\/a> in a bio for McCormick, her brother has intellectual disabilities.<\/p>\n

McCormick has often praised her parents for the care they provided Denny, calling them her role models. The Brady Bunch star herself has also become a fierce advocate for others who also live with intellectual disabilities.<\/p>\n
