November's the month...

I don't know how many of you out there realize but November is Alzheimer's Awareness Month. I want to make sure that those of you who have a loved ones would take the advantage and have them go through a screening to detect early signs of Alzheimer's. I strongly advise you to notify your older friends as well as family members of the screening so that they can either go on their own terms or have you accompany them. I currently have two aunts that have some memory issues from time to time. They are currently dealing with the problem but we all as a family don't think it's related to Alzeimers but we are going to have them visit their local clinic to have themselves screened for early detections. You can consider this as an early holiday gift from you to them. Please, if you're reading this post I want you to spread the word that November is Alzheimer's Awareness Month and that this is the month where a lot of people find out if they are or aren't at risk from this illness. If you need a little more info or details as to what you can do to help your loved one and you don't think that what you've read so far can help then please take the time to visit their site and educate yourself with all of the tips and ideas that they offer. If you do not have anyone in your life that is suffering from this illness then please consider contributing to the Alzheimer's Foundation of America. There are many others out there that you do not know personally but can use your kindness and your support. Remember that those who are currently suffering this illness may not remember you or your time, energy and money spent but their families will always remember.
Thank You
