As someone living with Alzheimer's disease, my mom (#MyFavoriteGirl), can no longer speak or advocate for herself. Today, I have the privilege and responsibility of being her voice—speaking up, standing up, educating, advocating, and working to advance policies and initiatives that improve the lives of individuals living with dementia and those who care for them.

But my advocacy doesn't stop with my mother.

​

It is also for my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and the millions of individuals and families whose lives have been forever changed by Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. It is for caregivers who often sacrifice so much behind the scenes. It is for my children and future generations, with the hope that one day we will live in a world where Alzheimer's is no longer a devastating diagnosis.

​

My voice matters. And so does yours.

​

Real change happens when ordinary people choose to speak up. Every conversation, every phone call, every email to a legislator, every shared story, and every act of advocacy helps raise awareness, influence policy, reduce stigma, and move us closer to better care, greater support, and ultimately, a cure.

​

On this page, you'll find information about issues affecting individuals living with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, as well as the caregivers who walk alongside them. You'll also discover opportunities to learn, advocate, get involved, and make your voice heard.

​

Together, we can create a future where no one living with dementia—or caring for someone who is—has to walk this journey alone.
