Advocacy Organizations
Youngtimers Inc.
Youngtimers, formed in 2019, is a non-profit that is dedicated to promoting education, community, support, and research to improve the lives of individuals and families with early onset Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. Early onset familial Alzheimer’s disease is a rare genetic form of Alzheimer’s disease caused by the inheritance of autosomal dominant mutations in one of three genes: amyloid precursor protein (APP), presenilin 1 (PSEN1), or presenilin 2 (PSEN2). Unlike the more common sporadic form of Alzheimer’s disease, individuals with these mutations start developing dementia and other disease-related symptoms usually in their 30s-50s. It is estimated that approximately 45,000 individuals are at-risk for this disease globally. Providing support for these patients is not only advantageous to this specific disease community, but the larger Alzheimer’s disease community as well. These patients have proven essential in understanding and elucidating how Alzheimer’s disease develops in the brain and are involved in testing investigational drugs that target Alzheimer’s disease. Helping this community continue to stay engaged in research will ultimately help the rest of the world affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
