Kick Alzheimer's and Dementia to the Curb!
We already know that Alzheimer's disease and dementia are low down, no-good horrible illnesses. Anyone who has been affected by the devastation of memory loss know would LOVE to knock these diseases out for good.
In my spare time, I write here and there for Bubblews. Today I decided to try a call to action post. Bubblews is a great community, they support each other, they love challenges. Why not call them to arms in the fight against Alzheimer's and dementia, and help raise awareness?
Support Dementia Sufferers and Their Caregivers
The point of the challenge is to gather those touched in some way by either of these conditions, and have them share at least one post about how Alzheimer's or dementia has affected them. Even if it is just a friend's friend.
Then, set aside one payment in October or November and donate it in some way to relieve Alzheimer's or dementia. Some of the ways this can be done:
- Donate to a charity or organization that researches Alzheimer's or dementia
- Donate money, gifts or supplies to a local church or senior center
- Donate money, gifts or supplies to a local nursing home or memory care facility
- Donate money, gift or supplies to a caregiver
- Purchase supplies, gift cards, or gifts to someone suffering from Alzheimer's or dementia.
Its not just a battle for the cure, it is a way to help someone with dementia or Alzheimer's disease personally if you want.
Then, share with the world how you made the world a better place for people with memory issues.
Here is the original Challenge: Bubbling for Alzheimer's and Dementia
And here is my first post for the challenge: Dementia, You are Not Welcome Here
