Get Involved

People keep asking how they can help. Here are the ways that mean the most to me.

Ways to help

• Get checked: Getting checked early gives you more options, including new treatments and research studies, even if you feel fine today. Ask your doctor, or see the Resources page for free memory screenings in Tampa Bay.

• Give: Donate to the Alzheimer’s Association Florida Gulf Coast Chapter. Your gift supports local families and research toward better treatments and, someday, a cure.

• Walk with us: Join us at Walk to End Alzheimer’s Sarasota County on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at Nathan Benderson Park. Sign up or give to a walker

• Volunteer: Help with support groups, education, events or advocacy through the local chapter.

• Join a research study: Studies need volunteers with and without memory problems. TrialMatch can find one near you.

• Take care of your brain: Try the free (re)think your brain 6-Step Challenge.

• Share my story: Send this site to someone who needs it. Talking about Alzheimer’s openly is how we take the fear out of it.

• Invite me to speak: Use the form below, or see the Speaking page for talk topics.
