Alzheimer’s Public Policy Forum Week

This is from an email I received from the Alzheimer’s Association:

The Alzheimer’s Public Policy Forum on March 23-25, in Washington D.C., includes a pair of media events and a moving and meaningful Candlelight Vigil on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

Your support as a caring and compassionate American is critical to the success of the Forum. Below, you’ll find several meaningful ways you can be part of the activities:

Help us get the word out to America by voicing your support during the following media appearances by Association leaders:

• Alzheimer’s Association President and CEO Harry Johns will appear on C-Span Tuesday, March 24; 8:30 – 9:00 AM, (EST) to introduce the latest frightening statistics from the new Alzheimer’s Association 2009 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures Report.




• Alzheimer’s Study Group members Newt Gingrich, Sandra Day O’Connor, and David Satcher will appear on National Public Radio’s Talk of the Nation on Wednesday, March 25; 2-3 PM (EST) to discuss the Alzheimer crisis.

Please check your local listings for station information.
Ask family, friends and colleagues to tune in.

 
Can’t attend our Washington, D.C. Candlelight Vigil in person? Then light a virtual candle — create a moving and lasting online tribute page!
Tonight, Alzheimer advocates will gather to share their stories and light candles in honor of their loved ones impacted with Alzheimer’s disease.  If you haven’t already, please take this opportunity to light a virtual candle to honor caregivers, those who are living with Alzheimer’s, those who we love who have been lost to the disease, or simply as a way to show your support in our fight against Alzheimer’s.

Thank you for taking part in these Public Policy Forum events and activities. Your involvement will make a significant difference in our goal to rid the world of the tragedy of Alzheimer’s disease!
