ACK! I know! I completely forgot about World Alzheimer’s Day last Friday (September 21st!). I’ve written before about how personally Alzheimer’s has affected my family and unlike most issues out there this one will affect almost everyone in some way (I bet you, yea you, know someone affected by Alzheimer’s). I was supposed to remind everyone to have a Purple Party in order to raise awareness and donations for Alzheimer’s research. Well, I want you to know its not too late!

Make plans this weekend for a purple party. Ask your friends, co-workers and family to donate to the Alzheimer’s Fund. If you throw a party, register it on actionalz.org. You’ll be able to create a page for your party, your friends can donate directly on the site and if you agree to raise at least $150 you get a free party kit (which rocks!). Also, the The Harrah’s Foundation is matching EVERY contribution made in the month of September, so you better hurry, September ends on Sunday!!

Throw a party, get the word out! DON’T FORGET!!
