Jacquelyn Sandler's life and illness served to inspire her son Randal's service in the fight against Alzheimer's, and thus helped the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation expand our capacity to drive the development of drugs to prevent and treat the disease. The ADDF is profoundly grateful for our association with the Sandler family, and proud to expand our efforts with the support of the Jacquelyn Sandler Initiative to End Alzheimer’s.

Jackie’s deep commitment to advancing science, along with her courageous and tragic fight against Alzheimer’s, inspired her sons (Richard, Nathan, and Randal) to create this initiative.

"We hope, through this initiative, we can impact the fight against this horrific disease, in her honor and for our wives, children, grandchildren, family, and the millions who suffer from its effects." The Sandler Boys, October 2020
