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

Meet our new Executive Director! Many of you will recognize Ashton Houghton from her 18 years with the Alzheimer's Association. What you may not know is that Ashton's deep commitment to this cause is inspired by her late grandmother, who was diagnosed with Younger-Onset Alzheimer's at the age of 59. “It will be the privilege of my career to lead the South Carolina Chapter, especially at this pivotal moment in time as we enter a new era of treatment,” said Ashton. “I’m so proud of all we’ve accomplished here in South Carolina, and I’m just so appreciative of our staff and amazing volunteers.” Learn more on our chapter blog: https://lnkd.in/g5rustVP
