President's Message Why We're Grateful This Year  Dear John, It’s that time again. Hard to believe that the Holiday Season is here. Can you believe it’s almost 2024? Boy, the time is going fast. At this Thanksgiving, we are so very grateful for this 30-year journey, powered by your support, encouragement and resilience. Our work is really making a huge difference in helping people prevent Alzheimer’s and change the world.

After all, education is the most powerful tool we have in stopping Alzheimer’s.

Education Increase Your Brain Health Span Webinar Brain health span encompasses a range of factors that contribute to the overall well-being and functionality of the brain. It goes beyond merely avoiding neurological diseases (like Alzheimer’s disease) and focuses on optimizing cognitive performance, resilience, and overall mental health. In essence, it involves maintaining a healthy brain throughout the different stages of life, allowing individuals to enjoy vibrant mental capacities and cognitive abilities as they age. In this webinar, diverse experts will outline ways of boosting your brain health span at individual, community, national and global levels.

IN MEMORIAM Lucia Paris

Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Lucia Paris. Lucia was part of the ARPF educational steering committee and a graduate of the Brain Longevity Therapy Training. She was such a joy to work with and we will miss her passion for caregiving. Lucia worked in elder and dementia care for 15 years. She was an advocate of prevention and spent much of her time researching holistic modalities. She completed BLTT in 2020 and shared the 4 Pillars of Prevention through blogging, social media, webinars, and speaking. She was working on her book Cappuccinos with Otto which takes the reader on a light-hearted journey with her dad who she helped care for as he aged. All of us at ARPF send the Paris family gratitude for the time we got to spend with her.
