Karen Sandone puts their Bucks County dream home on the market after her husband Anthony, diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's at 55, can no longer be left alone.

June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month, highlighting the impact of Alzheimer's disease and dementia on millions of Americans. A Virginia Beach couple, Jess and Rosey Rivera, are facing the challenges of early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Jess, a Navy veteran, was diagnosed at 52 years old. They are seeking treatment with new medications like Aduhelm, but the high cost poses a significant barrier. Medicare coverage for these medications is not yet established, causing frustration and a sense of discrimination. The Alzheimer's Association is advocating for unrestricted access to FDA-approved treatments for Alzheimer's patients. The couple remains hopeful for more time together and is actively fighting against the disease.
