Sully Sullenberger reveals early-stage Alzheimer's, vows advocacy
Captain Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger announced an early-stage Alzheimer's diagnosis (officially in Aug 2025), saying memory lapses and sleep changes are part of the early stage. Doctors note his history of PTSD after the Miracle on the Hudson could increase risk. He plans to continue public service and raise awareness about Alzheimer's with family support. Experts say there is no cure, but treatments and lifestyle changes can slow symptoms and help manage the disease.
