In the sweltering100 plus degree heat it’s hard to think about January, but inauguration day is a mere five months away.  Regardless of your personal presidential preferences, the new administration must enact a plan to attack the grave threat that Alzheimer’s disease poses to our country.  I know you’ve all heard me say this ad-nauseum but the number of people contracting the disease is unprecedented.  If we fail to focus on funding research to find a cure for this disease 1 in 8 of the 78 million baby boomers will contract Alzheimer’s disease in the coming decade.

Here’s your summer call to action-sign the Alzheimer’s Associations’s Proclamation.  Before January the Association is collecting over 50,000 signatures to send a message to our next president.  It will only take a minute to add your name to the list of constituents and help inform our 44th president of the growing epidemic.  My name’s on the list, add yours too!
