October is Lewy Body Dementia Awareness Month

October is Lewy Body Dementia Awareness Month! Thank you for all you are doing to promote increased awareness in your communities.

LBDA are the initials of America’s Lewy Body Dementia Association. Raising awareness is a crucial part of LBDA’s mission.

Join the fight against Lewy body dementia (LBD) by hosting a Community Fundraising Event today!

The Lewy Body Dementia Association (LBDA) is here to support you in planning an event to help raise awareness and funds to advance LBD research, provide support services, and educational programming for those living with Lewy.

Organize a 5k walk, cooking class, auction, a pickleball tournament or even a simple yoga class to engage with others in your community and help bring awareness to this little-known disease.

Your efforts will make a difference in the lives of those affected by LBD by offering hope, advocating for early diagnosis and advancing research for better outcomes for those living with Lewy, their families and care partners.

Together, we will make a difference for the 1.4 million people in the US impacted by this disease.

LBDA Needs You

Volunteers are the heart of LBDA’s service and the soul of its mission. LBDA introduces Lewy Body dementia (LBD) to the public, the healthcare profession, and the media as the number-two cause of progressive dementia. And they bring hope to families who feel alone in their battle with LBD.

Ways to Get Involved

Join volunteers nationwide by shining a light on LBD in your community. Your support strengthens LBDA’s ability to develop expanded educational resources, offer essential supportive services to LBD families, advocate for change in Washington, and advance research gains.

Let’s Beat Lewy Body Dementia!

Reach out to the Lewy Body Dementia Association and see how you can help.

With experience in dementia caregiving, public education, and Alzheimer’s-focused writing—and a professional research background shaped in what many consider one of the world’s top laboratories—I work to make complex findings clear, practical, and genuinely helpful for families and professionals providing care.

This site was inspired by my Mom’s autoimmune dementia.

It is a place where we separate out the wheat from the chafe, the important articles & videos from each week’s river of news. Google gets a new post on Alzheimer’s or dementia every 7 minutes. That can overwhelm anyone looking for help. This site filters out, focuses on and offers only the best information. it has helped hundreds of thousands of people since it debuted in 2007. Thanks to our many subscribers for your supportive feedback.

The site is dedicated to all those preserving the dignity of the community of people living with dementia.

Welcome

Alzheimer’s & Dementia Weekly was inspired by my mother’s journey with autoimmune dementia and my dad’s with Parkinson’s dementia.

Walking beside them opened my eyes to the confusion, the courage, and the deep humanity found in families and professionals caring for someone they love.

Since its debut in 2007, this site has had one clear mission:
to separate the wheat from the chaff — to highlight only the most essential articles, studies, tools, and videos from the overwhelming river of dementia-related information.
(At last count, Google receives a new post on Alzheimer’s or dementia every seven minutes.) For anyone seeking clarity or support, that constant flow can be exhausting and discouraging.

Alzheimer’s Weekly filters, translates, and explains what matters most, helping hundreds of thousands of families, clinicians, and care teams around the world make sense of the latest research and best practices.

This site is dedicated to everyone who works—often quietly and tirelessly—to preserve dignity in the community of people living with dementia.
