An Advocacy Journey (with Jamie Tyrone)

Would you want to know if you have a higher risk of developing dementia? We asked Jamie Tyrone, an author, patient advocate, and research participant to share her personal journey of discovering her genetic status after being wrongly diagnosed with a life-altering disease. Her experience has driven her to not only become a research participant, but also to share her story in her book, “Fighting for My Life: How to Thrive in the Shadow of Alzheimer’s.” Her story is inspirational and informative for anyone interested in dementia research and personal advocacy.
