Bill Ritter gives in-depth look into what causes Alzheimer's and what younger people need to know

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- Bill Ritter's new mission in life is to shed light on the disease that impacts 7 million Americans with his new series, 'Living With Alzheimer's.'

Bill takes an in-depth look at what causes Alzheimer's and what younger people need to be aware of.

In his first two reports, he spoke to Maria Shriver and New Jersey U.S. Senator Andy Kim who are deeply involved in the fight against Alzheimer's.

In this next report, Bill wanted to dig deeper into the causes of Alzheimers and the advances in treatment and whether there are things we can all do to prevent or slow the onset of the disease.
