What am I personally doing to raise awareness or improve the lives of those living with a memory imp

March 30, 2016 (Chapter 20 Advocacy in my book)

I'm helping to raise awareness of memory impairments by sharing my story with people. I'm on social media and I am a member of a mild cognitive impairment group. I am also an administrator on this group. Before being a member of this group, I didn't have a support group or a place to share my story and make a difference. I didn't have anyone to talk to who understood what it is like for me. I used to feel all alone and isolated! I no longer feel that way. For several years, I have traveled to Washington, D.C. as an advocate for the Alzheimer’s Association.
