Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness at EverydayHealth.com offers a great deal of information about this illness.

The Alzheimer’s Association provides a wealth of information. 

The National Institute of Aging (NIA) provides Alzheimer’s information at the Alzheimer’s Disease Education & Referral Center (ADEAR).

Alzheimer’s Australia lets you know about information and resources in that country.

OurAlzheimers.com at Health Central is another good resource.

What has been a good resource for you?

Alzheimer’s Fundraising: Lest We Forget Cross Country Bike Tour.

This documentary will air nationally Sunday, August 3, 2008 at 9:00 pm ET on PBS (local broadcasts may vary).

The idea is that you sign up with the Alzheimer’s Association to host a party and they’ll send you party set up tips and tools, local PBS broadcast information and party activity materials via email.

Sounds like a great way to increase awareness of Alzheimer’s and have some fun at the same time…

Sweet Sixteen’s Used to Raise Money for Alzheimer’s Association.

 We continually find more celebrities speaking aout about Alzheimer’s because it affects family members, friends, characters they play, or themselves.  They realize the need for Alzheimer’s awareness and funding for research into this devastating disease.

At the web site for the Alzheimer’s Association in the UK, we find many well-known people speaking out or up about this disease such as Dame  Judi Dench, AA Gill, Britt Ekland, Fiona Phillips, Tony Robinson, Richard Briers, Sally Lindsay and more.  There are celebrities of all ages and from various walks of life.

We learn that they, like us, have had to adjust to a loved one experiencing this disease.  We band together in the common fight for a cause and cure.

Immediate action includes using public broadcast systems, state transportation department automated road signs and a emergency call-line.

Sounds like a program that should be in all 50 states…
