Now, he's using his platform to raise awareness about Alzheimer's disease, an illness his mother lived with for years before she died last month. Holderness says she gave one final gift after her death by donating her brain to Alzheimer's research. "She can help rid the world of this completely crappy disease," Holderness told NewsNation's Blake Burman on Thursday.
