NARFE June 2024
June is Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month, a global initiative to raise awareness, encourage action and create dialogue about Alzheimer's and all other dementia. We encourage you to get involved and invite you to take charge of your brain health, tell your story and wear and share purple — the color of Alzheimer's. We're so thankful to our NARFE partners for joining us in the fight against Alzheimer's and helping spread the word. The more people know about Alzheimer's, the more action we inspire.
