We're just one week into June, and the response to our Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month Million Dollar Triple Match has been incredibly inspiring. It shows what a powerful and purposeful community this really is — and how determined you are to defeat Alzheimer's disease.
Together, we can raise awareness about the threat that Alzheimer's poses to us all. In fact, a large number of those living with Alzheimer's aren't diagnosed — and many are unaware of their diagnosis. There's also evidence that African Americans and Hispanics with dementia are less likely to have a diagnosis than whites, even though they are more likely to have the disease.
Educate the public about the benefits of early detection and diagnosis.
Inform public health professionals about the best available data for detection of dementia.
Promote the use of effective interventions and best practices to protect brain health, address cognitive impairment and help meet the needs of caregivers for people with dementia.
June is Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month. It's 30 days focused on bringing awareness to the threat this disease poses to us all. It's a month to spark action for fewer barriers and greater access to treatments. And it's a special time to show your support for the nearly 7 million Americans living with Alzheimer's or another dementia.
The Leeolou Family Foundation has made this month even more extraordinary with their $1 million pledge to the Alzheimer's Association in support of local chapter programs and Alzheimer's research efforts. But to unlock that substantial pledge, we need to achieve our $1 million goal by June 30.
