Worldwide, 47 million people are living with dementia in one form or another, and 5 million of them are living in the United States. Nearly 16 million people in the United States are providing care to those living with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia.
June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness month. In June, the Alzheimer’s Association invites you to learn more about Alzheimer’s disease; share your story; and take action. Join the fight against Alzheimer’s by participating in The Longest Day.
June 21, 2018 is the longest day of the year, also known as the Summer Solstice. This year, thousands of people will join together on the longest day to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and to help raise funds for research to find a cure.
The Longest Day is a cause that is dedicated to love: love for all those affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
Help end Alzheimer’s disease. Learn more about how you can create or join a fund raising team in our community. Visit The Longest Day page on alz.org or call (408) 372-9900.
