PLEASE NOTE: Even though this blog is now dormant there are many useful, insightful posts. Scroll back from the end or forward from the beginning. Also, check out my writer's blog. Periodically I will add posts here if they provide additional information about living well with Dementia / Alzheimer's Disease.

Generation Alzheimer's: The Defining Disease of the Baby Boomers.

Received this from Diane Wright in an e-mail and wanted to share the important information with you!


Hi. The good news is that death rates for many major diseases - HIV, stroke, heart disease, prostate cancer, and breast cancer - are declining. Sadly, we can't yet say the same about Alzheimer's. This year, the first of the Boomer Generation turns 65. To bring urgently-needed attention to the risk facing the Boomers, Alzheimer's Association recently released a groundbreaking study Generation Alzheimer's: The Defining Disease of the Baby Boomers.

We'd love your help in getting the word out on Michael A. Horvich Cares About People Who Care About Alzheimer's Disease about the important information in Generation Alzheimer's, so we can make sure the public understands what can be done to conquer this devastating disease. I've put together a microsite, making it really easy to grab banners, video, text -- anything you think you can use -- so we can make sure as many people as possible have access to this information:

Thank you so much,
Diane
