Every year, Alzheimer’s organizations around the world elevate their activity level on World Alzheimer’s Day in an effort to raise awareness and funding for research into this disease. This year’s observation will be held on September 21^st.  Alzheimer’s disease strikes a new victim every 68 seconds, robbing them of their memories and impacting their families in numerous ways. From the emotional devastation and pain of watching a loved one’s mental capacities and vigor deteriorate to the very real financial toll of providing the necessary care, Alzheimer’s disease is a tragedy for all involved. Though many people are aware of Alzheimer’s disease as a form of dementia, few realize that it is also the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. It is also a disease with no cure and for which no preventive measures can be taken. By raising awareness and funds, Alzheimer’s advocates hope to encourage the general public to contribute to research and provide critical support for those dealing with this cruel disorder.
