NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- Bill Ritter sat down with New Jersey Senator Andy Kim to have an honest conversation about the struggles with Alzheimer's.

Senator Kim talked openly to Bill about the struggles he faces as he cares for his father, who is suffering from Alzheimer's.

The conversation comes as Bill's new mission is to shed light on the disease.

More than 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's, which also means more than 7 million American families are also dealing with the disease.

This is Bill Ritter's second 'Living With Alzheimer's' report, focusing on the federal fight to help both Alzheimer's patients and their loved ones.

Last week, Longtime Eyewitness News anchor Bill Ritter announced that he is stepping away from anchoring after he was diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's.
