Jay Allen
After the musician’s mother was diagnosed with early onset dementia, he wrote “Blank Stares,” a heartfelt song about this experience. “My vision is that this song will raise awareness, bring hope to those affected, and most importantly, become a weapon in the fight against Alzheimer's,” says Allen.
Allen has been an Abe's Garden® advocate since 2017.
