Last night, Carole Olson Brennan, Tampa Walk Director, and I represented the Alzheimer's Association, Florida Region at GE HealthCare ‘s National Conference in Clearwater. We had the wonderful opportunity to engage with Sales Executives who were interested in supporting organizations like ours that aid those affected by Alzheimer's and other diseases. We shared information about our organization and its community efforts. Attendees donated generously, with GE matching their contributions at 50%. We are grateful for the opportunity to connect with local attendees and further our mission. #thankyou #ENDALZ #community

We are hosting a virtual early-onset dementia meeting for families to learn about the latest research in the field of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, get care and support resources and share insights and experiences. This is also an opportunity to learn about the Longitudinal Early-onset Alzheimer’s Disease Study (LEADS). As many as 200,000 individuals with Alzheimer’s in the U.S. under the age of 65 are living with the early-onset form of the disease. Through LEADS, there is hope that we can move toward a better understanding of younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Individuals with younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease and those without Alzheimer’s can potentially participate in this important research. Registration is free. Please share the link with anyone that may be interested. bit.ly/3LdpJlN
