I challenge the belief that there is nothing we can do to prevent, reverse or cure it.

I challenge the belief that it affects men and women the same. Two-thirds of the brains affected by Alzheimer’s belong to women. I’m determined to find out why; that’s why I’m raising money and awareness about women-based research and that’s why I founded the Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement. 

I will do everything I can to fight this disease, and I will never stop fighting until it’s defeated.

Join me in this fight at the Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement.

Maria Shriver’s The Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement recognizes that women are at the epicenter of the global Alzheimer’s epidemic and it challenges organizations to do cutting-edge research on women’s brains to defeat this mind-blowing disease.
