NARFE December
This holiday season, and every season, we are grateful for NARFE's dedication and support in the fight against Alzheimer's. Your unwavering commitment to defeat this disease means the world to us and to the more than 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer's and their over 11 million caregivers. So far this year, passionate NARFE Walk to End Alzheimer's® teams have raised an incredible $104,757 to help advance Alzheimer's care, support and research. Last-minute Walk donations can be turned in through December 31, so make one last push to get us over the finish line. If you weren't able to join a team this year, you can still participate by making a gift directly to one of the NARFE teams. Thank you for your partnership and outstanding commitment to the Alzheimer's Association. We wish you a happy and healthy holiday season!

Brain inflammation may influence moods in people with Alzheimer's
A person living with Alzheimer's or another dementia may become anxious or agitated. New research suggests that brain inflammation is strongly associated with rapid mood swings — shifting from calm to agitation or anger — according to reports from caregivers. The researchers say this could mean that inflammation plays a stronger role in early Alzheimer's than previously thought. Learn more.
