Quinn Early will tell you why he's so passionate about what he's doing now which is educating individuals about Alzheimer's, Dementia and the importance of early detection of both diseases. His mother is the co-author of Bryant Acres, A Love Story with Quinn. Bryant Acres is a Love Story about Quinn's Great-Grandfather 7 generations back, Sherrod Bryant during the time of slavery in the South.
The synopsis of the book is the stuff that movies are made of, "At the height of slavery in the antebellum south, a free man of color sold himself into indentured servitude. He found love and went on to become one of the wealthiest land owners of the time, and in the process built a multi-racial community."
It was this story, found within the pages of "Bryant Acres", that inspired Ann Early to write the stories Quinn had always heard about as a kid growing up in New York.
Quinn's mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's as she was writing the book. Quinn's focus on Alzheimer's research and prevention was motivated by this diagnosis. While the book is not about Alzheimer's, it is the reason Quinn is making it his life mission to help end the disease. "I promised my mom that I would help her get the story of Sherrod Bryant and Bryant Acres out to the world. Understanding the full story and learning about the hero that he was and seeing that heroism lived out through the life of my mother play out like a movie, is now my passion and mission," Early stated.

Quinn's speaking platform is being defined by the growing and alarming statistics of Alzheimer's and dementia. According to the Alzheimer's Association, "An estimated 5.7 million Americans of all ages are living with Alzheimer's dementia in 2018. This number includes an estimated 5.5 million people age 65 and older and approximately 200,000 individuals under age 65 who have younger-onset Alzheimer's. One in 10 people age 65 and older (10 percent) has Alzheimer's dementia." For more information about Alzheimer's disease and available resources, visit alz.org.
