NARFE June 2025
June is Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month. It provides an opportunity to learn about the impact of Alzheimer's and other dementia, how to support those affected and ways to promote brain health. Throughout the month, supporters wear purple, volunteer in their communities and raise awareness about the more than 55 million people worldwide who are living with Alzheimer's or another dementia. We're so thankful to our NARFE partners for joining us in the fight against Alzheimer's and helping spread the word. The more people know about Alzheimer's, the more action we inspire.

The test detects amyloid plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer's, through a blood draw, making it less invasive than other more commonly used diagnostic tools. The Alzheimer's Association believes this test is another important step in Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. Learn more.
