A Week to Remember

The Lewy Body Dementia Association has just announced its first ever Week to Remember October 10 -16. This is a great thing. I say that with tongue in cheek because I am aware that the reason it's a great thing is because Lewy affects so many people. Still, my sadness at the fact that we have to fight this doesn't stop my desire to fight.

The email I received from Angela Herron, President of the LBDA Board of Directors included the following ideas for raising awareness in your area. I will be considering things to do in my area between now and October and will keep you informed of my plans.

• Become an Awareness Member on LBDA's Facebook page.

• Plan a special event like a 5K run/walk or a tennis tournament.

• Download publications about LBD and share them with others.

• Create an online giving page in honor or in memory of a loved one.

• Share your experiences and connect with other LBD caregivers on our online Forums.
