Hilarity for Charity: Empowering Young People to Take Action Against Alzheimer's

Seth Rogen and his wife, Lauren Miller Rogen, discuss the creation of Hilarity for Charity, an organization they started to raise awareness and support for Alzheimer's disease. After Lauren's mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, they felt powerless and wanted to make a difference. They began by hosting a comedy show to raise funds and realized that young people also wanted to have a voice and take action. Over the years, they expanded their programs and focused on providing support for caregivers and raising awareness about the disease. Their mission is to help people now and build communities for Alzheimer's caregivers. They emphasize the importance of humor in caregiving, as it can provide catharsis and relieve emotional burden. They also highlight the stigma surrounding Alzheimer's and the need for open conversations to promote understanding and progress in finding a cure.
