Support the fight to end Alzheimer's

As an Alzheimer’s Association volunteer advocate, I am thankful to share my story and work with my elected officials to bring more attention to this critical issue.

The progress we have made in the fight to end Alzheimer’s would not have been possible
without bipartisan Congressional support, and this November I am thankful to work with
Congressman Andre Carson in honor of my grandmother who passed away after battling dementia for several years. Her journey with this saddening disease and the impact it had on my family as my mother was her primary caregiver, inspired me to contribute to efforts combatting this disease that affects millions each year. The National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease – which aims to increase research, enhance care, expand supports, and reduce risk (among others) – will expire soon if Congress doesn’t renew its commitment to the Alzheimer’s crisis in America.

The Alzheimer’s Accountability and Investment Act will ensure that Congress continues to hear directly from the scientists at the National Institutes of Health about the funding needed for Alzheimer’s research. It’s time to reauthorize these bills to keep up our momentum in the fight to end Alzheimer’s and all other types of Dementia.

Please join me in asking Representative Andre Carson to cosponsor and support the NAPA Reauthorization Act and the Alzheimer’s Accountability and Investment Act. We must continue investing in Alzheimer’s care and research to bring an end to this devastating disease.
