Olympic figure skater and Alzheimer’s Association Celebrity Champion Mariah Bell joins Dana to talk about her late grandmother’s battle with Alzheimer’s and what she and her family learned as they helped care for her during her final years. Mariah shares her favorite memories of her grandma, how she still feels her presence in her day-to-day life, and why it’s so important for young people to use their platforms for positive change: “Everybody has a voice.”
