This is bigger than me, and the loving memory of my beautiful mom. That's where it tugs at my heart, where now I can fight for the right of anyone and their family who has been inflicted with this incurable terminal disease.
Julie Rogers takes us on an emotional journey in this episode of the 'Nearest And Dearest Podcast'. Fresh from her trip to Washington D.C., Julie recounts her experiences advocating for the Alzheimer's Association. Invited by Lauren Ashburn, an Associate Director of Advocacy for New York state, Julie felt a profound connection with fellow advocates and the cause itself. Her passion stems from personal loss, having watched her mother battle this devastating disease.

She shares the importance of education, early detection, and fighting for access to FDA-approved treatments. This episode is a heartfelt call to action, highlighting the emotional toll Alzheimer's takes on families and the crucial need for support and understanding. Whether you're personally affected by Alzheimer's or simply looking to make a difference, Julie's journey will inspire and move you.
