World Alzheimer’s Day
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, a group of disorders that impairs mental functioning. According to BrightFocus, more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, and unless scientists can unlock the secrets of this disease, the number of cases is expected to triple by the year 2050. Each year on September 21st, organizations around the world concentrate their efforts on raising awareness about Alzheimer’s and dementia so that we can better understand those living with this chronic disease, generate more funds for research, and garner global commitment to discovering how to prevent, treat, and cure this disease.
In recognition of World Alzheimer’s Day America’s Charities is celebrating the following agents of change who we are proud to call our members.
