Alzheimer’s Association Advocacy Forum

Washington Marriott Wardman Park

Dear Fellow Advocates: I am honored to serve as chair of the 2015 Alzheimer's Association Advocacy Forum, our 27th annual event in our nation's capital bringing together dedicated, like-minded supporters from communities throughout the country devoted to ending Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's and dementia have impacted my life continually for the last 50 years. During my adolescent, teen and young-adult days, my mom lived with the progression of Alzheimer's for 26 years. Throughout this challenging time, my father, her primary caretaker, and I committed ourselves to turning what could have been potential stumbling blocks for our family into stepping stones for others. Within a few years of Momma's passing, my family's commitment to caring for ourselves and others was once again called upon when Dad fell victim to and lived with vascular dementia for over a decade. Today, my family is again touched by the grips of this illness, as one of my siblings is in the early stages of memory loss.

Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter once said there are four types of people: caregivers, those who have been caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who receive care. The fact is, caregiving will impact everyone. Your role may be short-term, long-term or indefinite. Whatever your circumstances, your caregiving journey may be filled with uncertainty. Your loved one's life has changed, and so has yours, perhaps dramatically.
