|

|
As a college student, Evan Holler didn’t think about Alzheimer’s, but after talking with someone who worked for the Alzheimer’s Association, he decided to pursue an internship with the organization. When he called his family to share the news, he was shocked to learn his grandfather was diagnosed with the disease. Holler now works with a passion to fight Alzheimer’s so that others won’t have the same experience.
