The Alzheimers Project
One of the most devastating forms of memory loss is Alzheimer's disease, an irreversible and progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills. Today, Alzheimer's is the second most-feared illness in America, following cancer, and may affect as many as five million Americans.
While there is no cure for the disease, THE ALZHEIMER'S PROJECT shows there is now genuine reason to be optimistic about the future.
Join us Thursday evenings in August at First Baptist Church of Cabot for a viewing of the four documentaries of THE ALZHEIMER'S PROJECT. Following each viewing a moderator will lead a discussion and answer questions you may have.
