HOW WILL YOU MAKE THE FIGHT TO END ALZHEIMER’S YOUR OWN?
The Longest Day (June 20th) is a special event dedicated to love for our family members, friends, and neighbors living with Alzheimer’s disease, and for their heroic caregivers, whose days are truly never-ending. This event brings together people from all walks of life to support the fight against Alzheimer’s in a unique and personal way.
The Longest Day is an annual event organized by the Alzheimer’s Association, symbolizing the challenging journey of those affected by Alzheimer’s disease. It takes place on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year (June 20), to honor the endurance and strength of those facing Alzheimer’s every day.
Participation in The Longest Day is simple and flexible. Here’s how you can make the fight to end Alzheimer’s your own:
Team up with the Alzheimer’s Association Illinois Chapter by registering (www.alzheimers-illinois.org/longestday) and join the global movement to fight Alzheimer’s. Select an activity you love whether it's hiking, baking, playing a musical instrument, or hosting a virtual event, choose an activity that brings you joy and can be shared with others. Plan your event, organize your chosen activity on or around The Longest Day. It’s a great way to bring your community together for a cause.
The Longest Day is more than just a fundraiser; it’s a powerful way to honor those affected by Alzheimer’s and to show solidarity with caregivers who work tirelessly every day. Your participation helps raise awareness and funds for crucial support services, research, and ultimately, finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.
The possibilities for The Longest Day are endless. Whether you’re participating as an individual, a family, or a group, remember that every action counts. It’s all about love and making a difference in the lives of those affected by Alzheimer’s.
Join us today and turn your passion into purpose. Together, we can make The Longest Day a beacon of hope and love in the fight against Alzheimer’s
