Today we're joined by country artist Jay Allen who turned his personal pain into powerful purpose after losing his mother to early-onset Alzheimer’s. Jay shares how her diagnosis changed his life, led him to write the viral hit “Blank Stares,” and sparked a nationwide movement for awareness and fundraising. Jay also discusses the healing power of music and how he's using his platform to honor his mother’s legacy and help others facing this devastating disease.For more information on Hope on the Harbor visit alz.org/manh/events/hope-on-the-harbor.
