In my own family, we saw how quickly small lapses in memory can turn into something far more serious. By the time we recognized what was happening, the options were limited, and the emotional and financial strain had already taken hold. That experience stays with me, and it’s why I’m urging Rep. Rick Larsen to support the Alzheimer’s Screening and Prevention (ASAP) Act and CO-Sponsor it NOW!
