BRAIN AWARENESS MONTH AND THE
LONGEST DAY SENATOR DURAZO.
THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT ARISE
TO PRESENT IS OUR 90. UM
RESOLUTION THAT RECOGNIZES JUNE
2022 AS ALZHEIMER'S AND BRAIN
AWARENESS MONTH. THE S R 90 ALSO
RECOGNIZES JUNE 21ST, WITH WHICH
THE SUMMER SOLSTICE HAS BEEN
DECLARED THE LONGEST DAY SERVES
AS A TIME FOR PEOPLE TO COME
TOGETHER TO HONOR. THOSE FACING
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE WITH A DAY
OF ACTIVITY AND ADVOCACY.
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE IS A
PROGRESSIVE NEURODEGENERATIVE
BRAIN. UM UM. ISSUE THAT LEADS
TO COGNITIVE DECLINE, RESULTING
IN FUNCTIONAL EMOTIONAL AND
BEHAVIORAL IMPAIRMENT. IN
CALIFORNIA. THERE ARE
APPROXIMATELY 690,000 RESIDENTS
LIVING WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
, MORE THAN ANY OTHER STATE IN
THE NATION. THIS DISEASE IS
FATAL AND THE THIRD LEADING
CAUSE OF DEATH IN CALIFORNIA
TODAY, AND IT ALSO IMPACTS ONE
MILLION CALIFORNIA SPOUSES,
PARTNERS, CHILDREN, SIBLINGS.
GRANDCHILDREN AND OTHER
RELATIVES WHO PROVIDE UNPAID
ASSISTANCE TO A LOVED ONE. AGE
IS THE GREATEST RISK FACTOR FOR
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE. RESEARCH
ALSO SHOWS THAT ALZHEIMER'S HAS
ESPECIALLY IMPACTED COMMUNITIES
OF COLOR WITH PREDICTIONS THAT
THE NUMBERS OF LATINO AND
AFRICAN AMERICANS CALIFORNIANS
LIVING WITH ALZHEIMER'S WILL
MORE THAN TRIPLE BY 2040. AN
ASIAN, AMERICAN, OR PACIFIC AND
PACIFIC ISLANDERS. CALIFORNIANS
LIVING WITH ALZHEIMER'S DOUBLING
IN THAT TIME. WELL, THERE IS NO
KNOWN CURE YET. THE TIRELESS
ADVOCACY OF ADVOCATES AND THOSE
WHOSE FAMILY MEMBERS LIVE WITH
THIS CONDITION, IMPACTING THEIR
LOVED ONES, SHOWS THAT WITH
CONTINUED RESEARCH AND STUDY OF
THE CONDITION ONE WILL BE FOUND.
CALIFORNIANS WHO INVESTED IN
ALZHEIMER'S RESEARCH HAVE RAISED
MORE THAN $25 MILLION FOR
RESEARCH INTO TREATMENTS TO SLOW
THE PROGRESSION OF OR CURE OF
THE DISEASE. THIS RESOLUTION IS
AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO
THANK THANK THIS COMMUNITY FOR
THEIR CONTINUED ADVOCACY AND
EFFORTS TO ENSURE THAT THOSE
LIVING WITH ALZHEIMER'S AND
THEIR FAMILIES HAVE THE SUPPORT
THAT THEY NEED. INDIVIDUALS
LIVING WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
AND THEIR CARE. GRUBER'S
CAREGIVERS NEED ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
, SUPPORT AND SERVICES TO MEET
THEIR NEEDS OVER THE LINK THE
PROGRESSION OF ALZHEIMER'S
DISEASE AND RELATED DEMENTIA,
AND I JUST WANT TO END
COLLEAGUES WITH MY OWN PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE WITH MY FATHER, UM,
HAVING ALZHEIMER'S YOU KNOW, AT
FIRST, IT SEEMED TO BE MILD
SORTS OF THINGS SMALL THINGS. HE
WAS FOR ALL HE'S JUST FORGETFUL
. OH THAT'S YOU KNOW, GETTING
OLD THOSE SORTS OF THINGS
WITHOUT REALLY UNDERSTANDING IT
AS AN ILLNESS. AND THEN, OF
COURSE, IT GOT MORE SERIOUS AND
HE WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO
FUNCTION NO LONGER ABLE TO
SWALLOW NO LONGER ABLE TO, UM
WALK BECAME COMPLETELY
BEDRIDDEN. UM AND HE WHEN HE
PASSED AWAY, HE HAD NEVER EVER
HAD A PHYSICAL ILLNESS IN HIS
LIFE NEVER TOOK A PILL FOR AN
ILLNESS OR A DISEASE, BUT IT WAS
ALZHEIMER'S THAT LED HIM TO
LEAVE US. SO UH, OUR FAMILY
UNDERSTANDS VERY WELL. THE
IMPACT OF ALZHEIMER'S CAN HAVE
AN INDIVIDUAL AND ON THE WHOLE
FAMILY. SO I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOU. I WILL. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, SENATOR DURAZO
DISCUSSION AND DEBATE SENATOR
GROVE. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT. I TO RISE IN SUPPORT
OF THIS RESOLUTION, AND I
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR BRINGING
FORTH ALL THE DATA AND
INFORMATION REGARDING
ALZHEIMER'S. IT IS A HORRIBLE
DISEASE, AND I THINK BACK AND WE
LOST MY MOM SIX YEARS AGO,
ALMOST SIX YEARS AGO THIS
DECEMBER FROM ALZHEIMERS. SHE
RAISED FIVE KIDS AS A SINGLE
MOM. SHE WORKED IN THE SHEDS.
SHE PUT HERSELF THROUGH SCHOOL.
GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL THE SAME
TIME THAT MY BROTHER DID. SHE
WAS 30 YEARS OLD. WHEN SHE
GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL AND I
THINK ABOUT WHAT MY COLLEAGUE
SHARED ABOUT A STRONG PERSON IN
YOUR FAMILY LIKE A STRONG PERSON
IN YOUR FAMILY, RAISING FIVE
KIDS AS A SINGLE MOM, ALWAYS
MAKING SURE THAT WE HAD
EVERYTHING WE NEEDED. MAYBE NOT
EVERYTHING THAT WE WANTED, BUT
EVERYTHING THAT WE NEEDED,
INCLUDING AN ABUNDANCE AMOUNT OF
LOVE. IN THEM. SHE WAS A PERSON
THAT TAUGHT ME AND GAVE ME THE
STRENGTH AND MY DAUGHTER'S THE
STRENGTH THAT THEY HAVE. AND TO
HAVE HER GO TO A PLACE WHERE SHE
DIDN'T KNOW ANYBODY. SHE DIDN'T
REMEMBER THEIR NAMES. UM SHE
COULDN'T BREATHE. COULDN'T YOU
KNOW EVERYTHING? DECLINES LIKE
YOUR BODY FORGETS HOW TO
OPERATE. BUT IT STARTS WITH. IT
STARTS WITH A MEMORY LOSS OF
YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS. AND I DON'T
KNOW ABOUT MY COLLEAGUE FROM LOS
ANGELES. BUT THE FIRST TIME I
WENT TO MY MOM'S HOUSE AND
KNOCKED ON THE DOOR, AND I SAID
HEY, AND SHE GOES. YES, MA'AM.
LIKE, HOW CAN I HELP YOU? I
MEAN, MY HEART JUST SANK. SO IT
IS A VERY, VERY DIFFICULT
DISEASE. I THINK IT'S FAR MORE
DIFFICULT FOR THE CAREGIVERS
THAN IT IS THE INDIVIDUAL
BECAUSE REALLY, THE INDIVIDUAL
DOESN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND. MY
MOM WAS HAPPY ALL THE WAY TO THE
DAY SHE DIED. SHE WAS HAPPY. SHE
SMILING AND WE WERE HEARTBROKEN
BECAUSE OF THE LIFE THAT SHE LED
. AND THEN HOW SHE ENDED UP. SO
I APPRECIATE, UM, THE ADVOCACY.
I APPRECIATE THE $25 MILLION.
IT'S BEEN RAISED TO BE ABLE TO
DO RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ON
THIS HORRIBLE DISEASE. AND UM, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I VOTE.

MENTIONED IN THEIR LOVED ONES
WHO WAS THE HEART OF THEIR
FAMILY, WHO HAD A JOYOUS,
IRREPRESSIBLE NATURE, EVERY
CURIOUS EVER ENGAGED IN AND
STOLE HER. AH! FROM US WELL
BEFORE HER LIFE ENDED. WE'RE
