The month of November was designated as Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness and Caregivers Month in 1983 by then President Ronald Reagan. In 1983, fewer than 2 million Americans had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. The number of people currently diagnosed and living with the disease has sky rocketed to almost 5.4 million.
Show your commitment to a world without Alzheimer’s by participating in Go Purple during the month of November.
