June 20th is summer solstice – it’s the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. As we celebrate the year’s longest day of sunshine, many people also are coming together to fight the darkness of Alzheimer’s by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association’s “The Longest Day” event. The purpose of the “The Longest Day” is to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s care, support and the latest Alzheimer’s treatments. From sunrise to sunset, families and friends of all ages will be choosing an activity or events including walking, exercising, cooking and mediating to honor those living with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers. The longest Day may look a little different this year due to physical distancing but the commitment remains the same.
