DID YOU KNOW?
IT'S TIME TO FIND A CURE!
That's why we are JOINING the fight with Maria Shriver and
the Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement!
For the month of October, Dream of a Better world will DOUBLE your giving! (for the first $5,000)
On November 9th, Diane will join Maria Shriver and her team for a fundraising event in Cabo San Lucas. They will talk about the current research and statistics on Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, discuss brain health, and talk about self-care and finding meaning in life through the ages. They will raise funds for the research to continue, so that we can begin to put an end to the debilitating disease, one that impacts those who receive this life-changing diagnosis as well as those who love and care for them.
We need more research.
We need more answers.
We need funds to continue to understand and learn.
Please join us and DONATE today!
All funds will be matched up to $5,000.00.
Every dollar raised will be donated to the Woman’s Alzheimer’s Movement!
Did you know:
- An estimated 6 million Americans today live with Alzheimer’s, a disease that robs memories before taking lives.
- Alzheimer’s begins to develop in the brain 20-30 years before diagnosis.
- 2/3 of those diagnosed are women—and no one knows why.
- 2/3 of Alzheimer’s caregivers are also women, many of who will have to take time off or resign from their jobs.
- A woman in her 60s is twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s over the course of her lifetime than breast cancer.
- After 60, a woman has a 1 in 5 chance of developing Alzheimer’s.
- By 2060, approximately 13.8 million brains in the U.S. will be living with Alzheimer’s, and millions more family members and friends will suffer alongside those diagnosed.
Too few people know these facts until Alzheimer’s strikes.
The time to know them is now.
Know the Facts:
- Alzheimer’s disease is NOT a natural part of aging.
- Alzheimer’s disease is still 100% fatal. There is no treatment or cure. Of the top 10 causes of death in America, it is the only disease without any effective drug or course of action.
- If Alzheimer’s runs in your family that does not necessarily mean you will get it.
- Conversely, if it does not run in your family, you are still at risk.
- Healthy habits can prevent or slow the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. This includes diet, exercise and lifestyle changes. Read more about ways to reduce your risk for Alzheimer’s under “Prevention.”
