We Won't Forget

Raising the profile of Alzheimer's disease as an urgent health issue for veterans. A network of @UsAgainstAlz • We won't forget.

#Veterans are at greater risk for developing #Alzheimers due to their service to our country — higher rates of TBI, post-traumatic stress, blast-induced neurotrauma, successive concussion syndrome, and depression contribute to poor brain health. Protect #veteran brain health.

Cognitive decline is not inevitable & studies indicate that more than 1/3 of dementia cases are preventable. That's why over 80 organizations & experts are calling on the US to set a national goal to prevent #Alzheimers & related #dementias. #BrainGoals https://t.co/JNqNqadd3c

Our @jason_r_DC spoke w/@ytquiroz, director of @MGHmapp, about her career; her team's work on a recent case of a Colombian woman w/ a rare genetic mutation that prevented her from developing early-onset Alzheimer's & more! Read their conversation here➡️ https://t.co/MUavKgm6oQ

Ensuring that communities of color are included and represented in clinical research is key to accelerating a cure for Alzheimer's and advancing #BrainHealthEquity.

BREAKING NEWS: Congressional leaders have reached an agreement to increase funding for #Alzheimers research at the @NIH by $350 million, increasing total funding to $2.8 Billion. The legislation containing this funding is expected to be voted on this week by the House and Senate.

On #VeteransDay2019, @UsAgainstAlz honors all those who served. Because of their service, veterans are at greater risk of developing #Alzheimers due to traumatic brain injury, PTSD, and more. Every veteran with Alz must have the care they need. #VeteransDay #WeWontForget

[Acti-v8 Your Brain @Acti_v8YB]

Many will celebrate #Veterans today in their places of worship, with parades and community events! We must not forget that they are at greater risk for #Alzheimers! #AlzheimersAwarenessMonth @GAP_Foundation @VetsAgainstAlz

Passage of the #CHANGEact along with BOLD and the key appropriations dollars already completed, would be the ultimate holiday gift to the millions of Americans living with the impact of #Alzheimers in this country. #StopAlz

[UsAgainstAlzheimer's @UsAgainstAlz]

This is what collaboration looks like! Our chairman @vradenburg3, @womensalz's @mariashriver and @homeinstead's Paul Hogan are in London for @WorldDementia Summit to tackle the global dementia crisis. #DefeatingDementia

[UsAgainstAlzheimer's @UsAgainstAlz]

This #GivingTuesday, please consider supporting @UsAgainstAlz. Today, nearly 6 million Americans are living with #Alzheimers, and that number is expected to triple by 2050. We are bringing communities together to accelerate an end to this disease. #StopAlz https://t.co/tawu2tZ6ug

[UsAgainstAlzheimer's @UsAgainstAlz]

As everyone gathers together with their families for Thanksgiving, we think about & thank the 16 million caregivers who devote countless hours to their loved ones living with #Alzheimers. From all of us @UsAgainstAlz, we hope you have a safe & happy holiday with the ones you love

“We must work toward not only a cure but making sure those who have served & protected us are protected themselves” – In honor of #VeteransDay2018, read this touching blog from #Alzheimers advocate Karen Garner about her husband Jim & his battle with #Alz. https://t.co/V8c2nzqjyH

[We Won't Forget @VetsAgainstAlz]

#Dementia develops in twice as many older veterans who have been diagnosed with #PTSD than those who have not. We cannot ignore this growing health crisis. In honor of #VeteransDay2018, support our brave veterans and demand action to #StopAlz. #WeWontForget
