    Volunteer Stories

     

    “I’m passionate about educating others, and I’m committed to helping caregivers understand this dreadful disease so they can provide the best care possible.”

    — Tracy Daniel-Hardy, Ph.D., Community Educator

     

    “I started volunteering after the Alzheimer’s Association convinced me I could have an impact. I continue because they were right. Together, we are making great strides in raising awareness and funds to end Alzheimer's and all other dementias.”

    — James “Jim” Irwin III, Walk to End Alzheimer’s Volunteer

     

    "I adore getting to meet other advocates from around the country who share the same passion and purpose. I also love knowing that I did my small part when legislation, both federal and in my state, is signed into law!"

    — Courtney Gerald-Elkins, Alzheimer’s advocate
