National Alzheimer’s Day, marked on September 21st each year, serves as a global call to action to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. It is an important time to reflect on the millions of individuals and families affected by this neurodegenerative condition. The day brings attention to the ongoing need for research, resources, and support for both patients and caregivers. Organizations and advocates around the world participate by hosting educational programs, events, and fundraisers to enhance public understanding of the disease and push for innovative solutions to treat and prevent Alzheimer’s.
You can join us for one of the key events in support of Alzheimer’s awareness in Southern California is the Temecula Valley Alzheimer’s Walk, which will take place on October 5th in Temecula. As part of the nationwide Walk to End Alzheimer’s initiative, the event encourages local residents to come together at Harveston Lake Park to raise funds and show support for the fight against Alzheimer’s. Participants can walk as part of a team or individually, and the funds raised will support critical research and local services for those affected by the disease. This walk is a vital community effort, highlighting the importance of unity in the battle against Alzheimer’s.
