JAY ALLEN
For one of my favorite songs inspired by Alzheimer’s Disease, visit the website of Country singer/songwriter, Jay Allen, www.jayallenofficial.com
After seeing his mother suffer from Alzheimer’s, Allen wrote “Blank Stares”. A video of him performing the song with his mother on stage in Iowa went viral causing Jay to become known around the world. His mother has since passed, but Jay continues to tour internationally as an advocate for the Alzheimer’s Association, and the song has gone on to raise over $100 million dollars to help fight the disease.
