JACKSONVILLE, FL, November 12, 2010 (Press-News.org) Join our team and get on the MOVE to end Alzheimer's! The Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds to fight Alzheimer's disease. The money we raise will go toward research to treat and prevent Alzheimer's, and programs to improve the lives of millions of Americans.
Alzheimer's awareness month sheds spotlight on treatment, prevention efforts

National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month, a reminder that the number of people who will develop the disease is expected to skyrocket over the next few years.

Starting Jan. 1, 79 million baby boomers will turn 65 at a rate of one every eight seconds. That is more than four million per year, according to a recent op-ed piece in The New York Times. If scientists could delay onset of the disease by five years, via better drugs, the United States could keep much fewer Alzheimer's patients from needing nursing homes, former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, and Alzheimer's experts Stanley Prusiner and Ken Dychtwald said in the piece.
Currently, for every penny the National Institutes of Health spends on Alzheimer's research, Americans spend $3.50 caring for individuals with the disease, for a total of $172 billion a year. At that rate, by 2020, the cumulative total will be $172 billion a year, or $20 trillion by 2050, according to the op-ed titled "The Age of Alzheimer's."

"Each year Comfort Keepers Jacksonville participates in the Alzheimer's Association's Memory Walk. This is a fundraiser to help families afflicted with this disease. If you would like to donate to this worthy cause, just follow the link to our page:
