Feeling the feels after a beautiful day on the Hill鈥擨 am proud of myself and my fellow advocates for showing up today, and every day of every year, fighting the good fight for those that we love and have lost to Alzheimer鈥檚. We will never stop until we #ENDALZ for good.

The "Mammogram Moment" for Alzheimer's is within reach, but we need Congress to help by including the #ASAPAct in the year-end package! @janschakowsky, as an ASAP cosponsor, please urge leadership to pass this bill by the end of the year! #ENDALZ

Blood tests that can detect Alzheimer's already exist. But Medicare is legally barred from covering them for screening. The #ASAPAct fixes that, and @janschakowsky, is helping us unlock access by cosponsoring this bill! #ENDALZ

When Congress made it possible for Medicare to cover mammograms, screening rates went up and deaths went down. We can create that same moment for Alzheimer's. @janschakowsky, please urge House leadership to move the #ASAPACT! #ENDALZ
