Today, Brother Bryan and Brother Craig presented a check for $1000 to David Handy, the Executive Director of the Alzheimer's Project.

The Alzheimer's Project is building a network of day care centers for dementia patients. These are free services to the care providers of dementia patients, usually a family member caring for a spouse or parent. Caregivers typically have SO little time for themselves to rest, shop, or take care of themselves, and the Alzheimer's Project helps give them a few hours to catch up. They really do a great service for the caregivers. Leon #5 is very happy to help them fulfil their mission!

Early diagnosis is important—but it's only the beginning of the journey. In a recent Tallahassee Democrat op-ed, our Executive Director, Dr. David Handy, shares why an Alzheimer's diagnosis should come with more than answers—it should come with support, resources, and a path forward.

Early awareness matters, but so do respite, education, and care partner support. Read more in his latest op-ed.

Earlier diagnosis gives families something this disease often takes away: time.
