On today’s episode of Speaking of Alzheimer's, we’re joined by Mike Montecalvo and Laura Hutchinson, two television news anchors and longtime emcees for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Both have deeply personal connections to Alzheimer’s and dementia, and they’ve also shared the stories of others affected by the disease through their work in the media.

We talk about their family experiences, the power of storytelling, and what keeps them coming back to the Walk each year to support families and the fight to end Alzheimer’s.
