(Jon Clark)
The Alzheimer’s community united on Jan. 29 at The Alexandria at Torrey Pines in San Diego for “SuperAgers: A Be Brain Powerful Event”, hosted by the U.S. BrainTrust of UsAgainstAlzheimer’s Women’s Leadership Council, a globally connected initiative championing women’s brain health and equity in research, according to a news release.
The evening celebrated leaders advancing brain health across the lifespan and shaping a future free of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The evening’s program featured a fireside chat with Dr. Eric Topol, noted cardiologist, founder and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, and New York Times bestselling author of Super Agers, which explores the science of longevity and resilience.
The second fireside chat, guided by award-winning journalist Meryl Comer, brought together Emma Willis (wife of actor Bruce Willis) and Mary Lou Falcone, who discussed dementia from the caregivers’ perspective, the news release stated.
The event was led by Rancho Santa Fe resident and Host Committee Chair Muffy Walker, alongside a dedicated committee of San-Diego area and national community leaders committed to advancing brain health: Christine Aylward, Meryl Comer, Nicole Frank, Betsy Gleijeses, Candise Holmlund, Kristy Johnson, Kelli Karches, Sandy Morgan, Robin Nordhoff, Yanina Odin, Lisa Parnall, Ann Reed, Raquel Rogers, Karen Segal, Karen Tanz, Maggie Watkins, Wendy Walker.
The event committee also recognized the event’s Honorary Co-Chairs, whose leadership and advocacy help drive progress toward a world without Alzheimer’s: Renée Fleming, world-renowned soprano and global arts and health advocate; Mandy Moore, actress/singer and advocate for Alzheimer’s and brain health; David Hyde Pierce, acclaimed actor and longtime Alzheimer’s advocate. In addition to the program the event included a reception and seated dinner.For more information about UsAgainstAlzheimer’s visit: www.usagainstalzheimers.org.
