Join us in Washington, DC to Raise Alzheimer
Awareness, Broaden Support Base
We invite you to participate in the Alzheimer’s Association’s 17th Annual
Public Policy Forum, April 30 – May 3 in Washington, DC, and join
advocates nationwide to let our legislators know more about the impact of
Alzheimer’s, that we need their support and that by working together we
can win the fight against Alzheimer’s!
We’ll have many
and productive opportunities during the Forum to prepare for meetings with
our legislators to talk about:
-
how we’re able
to talk about “hope” in relation to Alzheimer’s instead of “hopeless.”
-
the tremendous
progress being made in the science and care aspects of Alzheimer’s and
that we’ve laid the groundwork for major Alzheimer breakthroughs in the
years ahead.
-
how important it
is to work with them to increase federal funding for Alzheimer research
to $1 billion annually and to improve the care and quality of life for
those with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers.
-
the individuals
and families who are impacted by Alzheimer’s every hour of every day.
The education,
training and tools also will help us with equally important and successful
advocacy efforts on the state and local levels.
