On the recordNovember 30, 2023
Today I rise to honor the remarkable efforts of Debi and Mark Hall for their activism and their fight against Alzheimer's disease. Earlier this year, I had the privilege of sitting down and speaking with the Halls, as well as participating in this year's Walk to End Alzheimer's. Debi, who spent 40 years as a nurse, was diagnosed with this devastating disease at the age of 65 in 2020. Her diagnosis spurred the couple's mission to raise money and support efforts to find a cure for Alzheimer's. Now, they are known as tireless advocates in the fight to raise awareness, find a cure, and support those who suffer from Alzheimer's and their loved ones. I have to tell you, I have been around Debi and Mark a few times, and their love and support for each other is unmatchable. It is lovely to see the way they look at each other, support each other, and, yes, even dance with each other. It is something amazing to see. Our community and the fight against Alzheimer's are stronger because of the work of the Halls in Southern Arizona. As we conclude Alzheimer's Awareness Month, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to them for the dedication and compassion that they bring to Arizona's Sixth Congressional District.
