Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month

Alzheimer’s is a degenerative brain disease that accounts for 60 – 80% of dementia cases. It affects a person’s memory, thinking and behaviour and symptoms will gradually worsen over time, eventually making speaking, swallowing, and walking difficult. Alzheimer’s usually occurs in people over the age of 60 years, though early onset Alzheimer’s can occur in people as young as 30 years of age.

This month is an opportunity to spread awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Join the community and wear purple to support those who are dealing with Alzheimer’s and other dementia’s themselves, as well as people who have family or friends with some form of Alzheimer’s or dementia.
