Journalist and author Greg O'Brien, diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's over a decade ago, shares with BrainStorm host Meryl his determination to be heard at the Washington D.C. rally at the Lincoln Memorial to protest proposed cuts to NIH biomedical research funding that would critically affect Alzheimer's disease research.  Greg also candidly shares what it takes for him to navigate at this late stage in the disease.

This episode also features a TopLine commentary by George Vradenburg, founder and chair of UsAgainstAlzheimer's, on the mobilization of patient advocacy organizations across diseases fighting to maintain the integrity of America's biomedical and scientific research.

This episode is sponsored by Genentech.
