Having grown up as a young caregiver for my late grandmother, I am using my brain to develop ways to educate, empower, and activate the next generation of Alzheimer’s youngest caregivers. Through my initiative Alz4Kidz and the accompanying guidebook, my hope is to provide resources and advice I wish I had as a ten year-old wanting to know what was happening to Grandma and how I could help. Now entering my senior year at Duke University, I challenge this upcoming generation of young caregivers to pick up where I left off. Now is the time for all generations to stand together to end Alzheimer’s.
