November is National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month.
Awareness really may be the key. If people really, truly became aware of the what the disease is all about - the effect on people with the disease, on families, on caregivers, the enormous costs, the lack of answers or a cure, the ever increasing number of people diagnosed - then, if there is any humanity left in this world, the rest will take care of itself.
Read, write, tell, listen, share, learn.
