Why do I fight to #ENDALZ? For those of you that have followed my journey and year of service, you might know that my personal platform is the @alzassociation! I’ve worked with their organization for six years, joining the effort to create a world without Alzheimer’s disease. My family has been personally affected by this disease and has lost FOUR of our loved ones to this devastating epidemic. Tennessee has the 4th highest rate of death from Alzheimer’s in the country. We NEED our leaders to represent the 500,000 Tennesseans impacted by this disease by cosponsoring the #Hope4AlzAct and the #YoungerAlzAct! #TennesseeGoesPurple #MissTennessee #MissTN #MISStennessee2018 #MissTN2018 #MEmoriesMatter (at Alzheimer's Association Tennessee Chapter) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw7TfsNlFSQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d5u0dxsx8vbp
