International Day of the Girl celebrates young people who see a way to make a difference and go for it. For Julianne, that started with "two very big things." Her love for her grandmother, Diane, and her love of dance.

Her grandmother, better known as Nanny, lived with Alzheimer's. Her family first noticed signs of the disease when "she forgot the simplest words — a lot," Julianne shared. Those changes were signs of Alzheimer’s. Her family joined their first Walk to End Alzheimer's in 2024. After losing Nanny, Julianne knew she wanted to do more.

That is when Julianne came up with her own way to help. She hosted Dancin' for Diane with her Varsity Kickline team, raising over $16,000 (and counting) for Walk to End Alzheimer’s. "I thought that if I could fundraise for the Association while doing the thing I love most, it would be a win-win."

One of Julianne's favorite moments with her Nanny was a trip to a drive-thru when she was 7 years old. She recalls spilling her ice cream all over the car and instead of Nanny getting upset, the two "just couldn't stop laughing."

On International Day of the Girl, we're grateful for Julianne and all the girls that are determined to make a difference in our world. Join Julianne and participate in a Walk to End Alzheimer's near you at alz.org/walk. 💜

When you're caring for someone living with Alzheimer's or another dementia, hurricane preparedness looks a little different. 💜

We know to stock up on water, food and batteries. But caregivers have a few extra things to think about:

✔️ Medications and medical information
✔️ Emergency contacts and evacuation plans
✔️ Medical equipment and power outages
✔️ Familiar foods, comfort items and routines
✔️ Knowing where you'll go if you need to leave

A hurricane can be especially confusing and stressful for someone living with dementia. We hope these tips make it a little easier for everyone.
Find guidance for caregivers during emergencies at alz.org/emergency or call our free 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900. Consultants are standing by to offer personalized guidance, caregiving information and support.
