Go Purple Austin! June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month
The Alzheimer's Association of Texas Capital in South Austin reminds us that the more people who know about Alzheimer's, the more action we can inspire. During Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, you can share your story and we encourage participation in The Longest Day. THE DAY WITH THE MOST LIGHT IS THE DAY WE FIGHT! On June 20th, 2020 — the summer solstice — people from across the world will fight the darkness of Alzheimer's through an at-home or online fundraising activity of their choice. Whether it's creating a putt-putt course in the living room, starting a workout challenge on social media, or hosting a trivia night via video conference, nearly any activity can be adjusted for physical distancing!
