I am participating, as part of the Writing Against the Darkness Team, in the Alzheimer's Association 'The Longest Day' fundraising event to advance their care, support and research efforts. Our team is committed to fighting Alzheimer's disease, so we are warming up on December 21 writing from sunrise to sunset (almost nine hours where I live). We'll do it again on summer solstice, the Longest Day, the day of the year with the most light (a little over 16 hours here) to honor those who live with dementia, their caregivers, and those who care about them. 

I am among the many people who have lost loved ones to Alzheimer's. An estimated 50 million people worldwide live with Alzheimer's or other dementias, including more than 5 million Americans. That's more than the entire population of my home state of Oregon. In the United States alone, 16 million friends and family members are providing their care. And these numbers will continue to rise.

You can join the effort to stand up to the darkness of Alzheimer’s by making a donation today to help the Alzheimer's Association support all those facing the disease. Thank you!
