Hello! 👋 send me a text message! Tell me what your thoughts 💭 are about this episode
I found myself in a sea of cherry blossoms in Washington DC, 🏛 feeling a sense of renewal that only spring can bring.🌷🌳☀️ It was here, at the Alzheimer's Impact Movement's Advocacy Forum, that I channeled my personal loss into something greater—a passionate fight against Alzheimer’s and dementia.💜 This episode of Nearest and Dearest Podcast takes you through that journey, where we grapple with the staggering reality of Alzheimer's impact and the ray of hope that recent treatment advancements provide. I unpack both the emotional and realistic components of the disease, as someone who's witnessed its effects firsthand, watching my beautiful mom suffer and as an advocate for change.
There's no denying the urgency; the numbers are daunting, with Alzheimer's cases expected to double by 2050. But there’s power in unity, 🫶 and this episode is a testament to the collective strength of caregivers, advocates, and those living with the disease. 👫👭👬I discuss the Alzheimer's Association's vision, where a world 🌎without this devastating condition isn't just a dream but a goal worth striving for. 🙌🤍 So, take a moment to tune in, find the hyperlinks below 🚨👇and let's embark on this fight together! 🤝It's not just about facing the facts—it's about fostering hope and action in an era where advocacy isn't just needed, it’s a matter of life and death. ❤️
