June is National Alzheimer’s Month! Join us and help find a cure!

Alzheimer’s disease affects 5 million of Americans and thousands more worldwide.  But how much do we really know about it and its effect on people around the world?  It is the 6^th leading cause of death, it’s slightly more prevalent in woman and signs for the disease appear many years sooner than previously realized with subtle symptoms; such as, a decreased ability to identify odors and a buildup of beta-amyloid in one’s eyes.  June is National Alzheimer’s month we want you to join us in promoting awareness of the disease and help us find a cure by joining our team “Private Home Care Walkers 2015” in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s on September 20, 2015, in Andover, MA.   If you are the type of individual who wants to make a difference in the lives of millions, this is a time to make your mark and walk for a cause and a cure.  Alzheimer’s doesn’t receive as much press as other diseases, like ALS or breast cancer, but it can be as devastating which is why your support in the walk and helping to find a cure is needed.   As the month of June closes, it is very important to act on making a difference and support spreading the word by sharing the walk information with everyone.   For more information, visit the Alzheimer’s Association’s website at www.alz.org and learn about the huge impact this disease has on families and society.   Also, check their website for opportunities to get involved either through just spreading the word, giving a donation or joining us in the walk.
