Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging. It is a progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory, thinking skills, and the ability to carry out simple tasks. The impact goes far beyond the individual—it reaches deeply into families, friendships, and entire communities. Yet, you are not alone.
This day is a chance to:
- Support the millions of individuals living with Alzheimer’s and related dementias.
-
Honor the caregivers—both professional and family—who give so much of themselves to provide compassionate care.
- Remember those we’ve lost and keep their memories alive.
-
Push for progress, through research funding, early diagnosis, improved care, and public understanding.
Whether you're a caregiver, a loved one, or someone living with dementia, help is available—and hope remains strong.
