Alzheimer's doesn't discriminate. It transcends boundaries of race, sex, ethnicities and religion. It's a disease that steals happiness, destroys memories, and kills more individuals than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. But, together, we can raise awareness about Alzheimer's signs and symptoms, promoting the benefits of early screening and detection, providing care and support to affected individuals and their families, and accelerating the advancement of research to ultimately achieve aworld without Alzheimer's disease.
