In a world often filled with daunting health challenges, Alzheimer’s Prevention Day stood out as a beacon of hope and action.
This year was the first launch of this global initiative and we were privileged to witness an incredible turnout: over 10,000 individuals visited our site, driven by a shared determination to tackle Alzheimer’s disease head-on. The day was not just about awareness but about tangible actions that each person can take to safeguard their cognitive health.
One of the highlights was our interactive 3-minute Alzheimer’s Prevention Check, which 8,000 participants eagerly completed. This simple yet impactful test empowers individuals to assess their cognitive health and take proactive steps towards prevention.
Moreover, the 30-second challenge captured hearts and imaginations alike. We asked people to share on video what they do to help prevent Alzheimer’s each day?
And the answers are astounding!
From paragliding adventures to quirky activities like standing on one’s head or foraging in local forests, participants demonstrated that preventing Alzheimer’s can be both effective and fun.
Ali’s daring paragliding escapade, Zoe’s upside-down yoga prowess, and Nodge’s foraging adventures exemplify the creativity and commitment shown by our community. These actions not only inspire but also remind us that preventing Alzheimer’s is within everyone’s reach, with room for creativity and enjoyment along the way.
Central to the success of Alzheimer’s Prevention Day were the dedicated individuals behind the scenes. We extend heartfelt thanks to Cath and the team for their meticulous editing of inspiring films, and to Alex for crafting a user-friendly website that hosted invaluable resources and engaging content.
