We need people to share their personal Alzheimer's story (parent, grandparent, spouse/partner, brother/sister, aunt/uncle/cousin, close friend, clients/patients) as part of a local ACT team. Volunteers visit the local office for Congresswoman Maxine Waters to share their Alzheimer's experiences with her and her staff. Volunteers also provide updates on current legislation to help people with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers, including increased research funding to find a cure.
Your personal Alzheimer's story will help the more than 5.5 million people across the United States living with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers!
No experience necessary. Training and materials will be provided.

Mission Statement
To eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health
Description
In 1979, Jerome H. Stone and representatives from several family support groups met with the National Institute on Aging to explore the value of a national, independent, nonprofit organization to complement federal efforts surrounding Alzheimer's disease. That meeting resulted in the April 10, 1980, formation of the Alzheimer's Association with Mr. Stone as founding president.
Today, the Association reaches millions of people affected by Alzheimer’s across the globe through our national office and chapters in communities nationwide. We are the world’s leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support and research.
