My sister, Mary has again formed a team, "His Sparrows" of which I am a member, to help make people aware of the horrible disease Alzheimer's is.
As we age, we wonder how our mind and body will change, what will we be able to do or what and how much will we be able to remember. We hear about more and more of our friends and family are having trouble with their thoughts and memories. Some of us will be diagnosed with Dementia and some of us will be diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
Dementia is an overall term to describe symptoms that impact memory, performance of daily activities, and communication abilities. Alzheimers disease is the most common type of dementia. Alzheimers gets worse with time and affects memory, language, and thought.
Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimers is the most common cause of dementia. Dementia describes a group of symptoms associated with a decline in memory, reasoning or other thinking skills. Many different types of dementia exist and many conditions cause it.
Alzheimers is a degenerative brain disease that is caused by complex brain changes following cell damage. It leads to dementia symptoms that gradually worsen over time. The most common early symptoms of Alzheimers is trouble remembering new information because the disease typically impacts the part of the brain associated with learning first.
Research is being done to find the cause and find a cure, but much more is needed to be done. If you are able to support us, donations are greatly appreciated. Alzheimer's Association is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
You can make checks payable to Alzheimers Association and make your reference, "Sue Peters". Or You can go to the Alzheimers website, http://act.alz.org search find a walker, type in my name, and the walk is September 24 in Ventura County, CA 93030 to donate on line.
Thank you for the fight against Alzheimer's!
