Introduction
 'My mother's friend had Alzheimer's disease for many years. After seeing her deterioration and the sad reality of her not recognizing her own son, I connected with the Alzheimer's Association, which provides support to families, funds research, and advocates to make Alzheimer's a priority with Congress. More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's, and that number will drastically increase as baby boomers age. Because it's so devastating for those impacted, I'm committed to doing all I can — I speak at their events to encourage others to rally around this cause.'
-Bradley Cooper (actor)
