Re: October 10-16 Will Be A Week To Remember

[Guest guest]

Good Morning Everybody -

I had shared with you before that October 10-16 is LBD Awareness Week and I just

wanted to share with you the website page that will give you further details. Be

sure to visit the LBDA site to see what Events there will be in your area during

Awareness Week. In Massachusetts alone there will be 4 events -- so I'm very

excited to say the least. This is a HUGE step for Lewy Body Disease Awareness

and hope you feel the same.

Here's the website to learn more:

shadows and into the public eye.

> •Awareness for the spouse whose " happily ever after " has been stolen away by

LBD.

referral to a specialist for a specific diagnosis.

> Although we remain committed to increasing awareness about LBD 365 days a

year, October 10-16 will truly be A Week To Remember, as the LBDA Family comes

together to raise awareness and support across the country.
