Georgia's own Andrea Lucas courageously shares her journey to help others navigate life after an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. She was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 60, and she serves as a member of the Alzheimer’s Association National Early-Stage Advisory Group.

In 2024, Andrea noticed subtle cognitive changes interfering with her work. “Alzheimer’s crept up on me slowly and out of nowhere. I began struggling with both complex and routine parts of the business—forgetting facts, experiencing slower recall, missing answers to key questions.”

Eventually, those changes became noticeable to others. Concerned, Andrea sought medical guidance and after several appointments, Andrea received a clear diagnosis: early‑stage Alzheimer’s disease. “It was really hard. You feel broken.”

That same day, Andrea made a call that would change everything. She reached out to the Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 Helpline. “That moment, I felt like on the other line they were saying, ‘I have you. I got you in this.”

As an Early‑Stage Advisor, Andrea helps reduce stigma by speaking openly about life with dementia. “Receiving an Alzheimer’s diagnosis is scary. But once you recognize what you’re facing, there’s a pathway. There are people behind you.”

Today, Andrea is focused on living fully. She’s traveling, reconnecting with loved ones, and picking up the violin again. “I recognize I must seize the day and make the most of each one. Some of my past memories are fading, so it’s time to make new ones.”

💜 Join us in celebrating Andrea’s courage, advocacy and leadership. Her voice reminds us that an Alzheimer’s diagnosis does not erase identity, strength or purpose, and that no one has to navigate this journey alone.
