“My life is definitely more intentional. You have one life, you’re going to live it. I’m going to go out and discover new things, go on new adventures.”
Signature Story: LauraLee
The experience of Alzheimer’s disease is personal, and so are the stories of the individuals living with it. Many people living with the disease have varied and fulfilling lives, and their experiences can help us understand how receiving an early diagnosis can change what’s possible about living with the earlier stages of the disease.

The earlier stages of Alzheimer’s disease can affect people in different ways. Some people who are diagnosed with the disease may be unimpaired and notice no changes in memory or thinking, while others may already experience cognitive impairment with more noticeable symptoms.
