World Alzheimer’s Day is a day on which Alzheimer’s organizations everywhere focus their efforts on raising awareness about Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia and progressively erodes the brain’s abilities, taking memories away from patients as their brains gradually shrink.
Every 65 seconds, someone develops Alzheimer’s disease. At current rates, experts believe the number of Americans living with Alzheimer’s will quadruple to as many as 16 million by the year 2050.
When someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, it does not just affect them but affects their friends and family as well. It is painful to watch someone we love decline, suffering from a progressive disease that takes away their memories, limits their ability to live independently, and robs them of their social skills and cognitive thinking ability. And, worst of all, a disease for which there is no cure.
According to the Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s Research Foundation:
- 5.7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s.
- Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States.
- Alzheimer's disease is the only cause of death among the top 10 in the United States that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed.
Over our years of service to seniors we at Right at Home of Central New Jersey have seen the decline in so many of our clients who have suffered from Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Because of that, we are particularly focused on doing what we can to find a cure and, as we have done in the past, are holding our Smash Out Alzheimer’s fundraising event on November 24, 2019 to raise funds for ending this awful disease.
Please join our Smash Out Alzheimer's Facebook group to keep up-to-date on all of our fundraising efforts and the Smash Out Alzheimer's event on Sunday, November 24.
