"Before my mom lost the ability to speak, one of the most telling encounters was when she asked me how long I was in town for, when I live a mile away."
— Tony Hawk, professional skateboarder and Alzheimer's champion
"To hear the frustration in my dad's voice — not knowing what was going on with this woman he was married to for 50 years — was just as heartbreaking as realizing my mom was starting to suffer from dementia."
— Timothy Omundson, actor and Alzheimer's champion
"You never think something like Alzheimer's is going to land on your doorstep until it does; it lands right in your lap. You need to pay attention to the warning signs."
— Katie Lowes, actress and Alzheimer's champion
"My Mom, who is Dad's primary caregiver, is a hidden hero. All caregivers are."
"I will spend the rest of my life trying to help find a cure."
