This is what grassroots advocacy looks like! Texans spoke up, and Sen. @JohnCornyn cosponsored the Alzheimer's Screening and Prevention (ASAP) Act, expanding access to routine blood testing so more people get answers earlier and care sooner. Thank you, Senator! #ASAPAct #ENDALZ💜

Alongside @American_Heart, we have filed an amicus brief supporting the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT), an initiative approved by nearly 70% of voters to advance research on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
Despite the clear message sent by the people of Texas, litigation has delayed DPRIT's implementation, but we will continue fighting to see it succeed.

Thank you @JohnCornyn for letting us drop by your Dallas office to show you that more than 300 Texans have signed our letter, urging you to support the #ASAPAct. This would expand access to blood dementia screening tests, leading to better early detection and diagnosis. #ENDALZ

Today we recognize aunts and uncles impacted by Alzheimer’s or another dementia. For many of us, aunts and uncles are special family members — sharing their wisdom and love across generations. 💜 We fight to #ENDALZ in their honor and all those facing dementia. #AuntAndUncleDay
