Join the Fight: Alzheimer's Awareness Bracelet

Alzheimer’s is one of those diseases that, just like cancer or diabetes, has become all too familiar these days. Almost all of us have been affected in some way by this horrible disease; maybe one of our parents is suffering from it, or we have friends who struggle with caring for a loved one afflicted with it. As the baby boomers continue to age, more and more of them will be stricken with it, too. Alzheimer’s is a disease that affects everyone: those that have it as well as those that love them.

However, the more familiar we become with what Alzheimer’s is all about, the more we can help fight the spread of this disease together. One simple way the Alzheimer’s awareness bracelet. This purple rubber bracelet features the Alzheimer’s Association logo and the message “a reason to hope.”

Wearing rubber bracelets is a trend that began with Lance Armstrong and his yellow “Live Strong” bracelet. It now seems everyone is sporting some kind of a colorful rubberized bracelet with various messages. In the case of diseases like Alzheimer’s, wearing a Alzheimer’s awareness bracelet is a good way to help raise money for research while you raise consciousness in those around you about the disease.

For a small, $2 donation, the Alzheimer's awareness bracelet provides you with a way to help organizations make Alzheimer’s a national priority and increase funding for research and support programs. It’s a bright, visual way for you to demonstrate your willingness to fight for a cure and increase public awareness about a disease impacts the lives of countless sufferers every year.
