An Alzheimer's Advocate
- Apr. 27th, 2011 at 8:27 PM
Hi again
I sent you an email last week and I hadn't heard back so I wanted to try you again. This year, the first of the Boomer Generation turns 65. To bring urgently-needed attention to the risk facing the Boomers, Alzheimer's Association recently released a groundbreaking study Generation Alzheimer's: The Defining Disease of the Baby Boomers.
I thought that you and the readers of Disability Arts In Film would be interested in this important information, so I've put together a microsite, making it really easy to grab anything you think you can use to help spread the word:
http://alz-news.org
Please let me know if you have any questions and if you are able to post or tweet about this.
Thank you so much,
Diane
