Second, thanks for joining us
now the month of June is for
Alzheimer's and brain awareness.
The Alzheimer's Association is holding
an event to bring awareness to.
Also this embrace fund.
So here to discuss.
That is Doug Freeman from the
association the Alzheimer's Association,
as well as Lucinda.
You are with the brewery that's
partnering with everyone,
so we're gonna break this all down.
But first, explain to us what the
Alzheimer's Association and Brain
Awareness Month is all about.
Well, this is the month
that we want to bring.
Awareness of course to to people
about Alzheimer's about dementia,
what to look for,
things people don't know about.
If they have concern about family
members who may have showing
signs of forgetfulness things,
the the differences between normal
aging and what could be dementia,
we have a month of classes and items,
events we have fundraisers like.
We're going to have a double peak brewery.
We have what we call the
longest day which is.
June 21st, of course,
is the longest day of the
year with the most light.
So when we have organizations
and individuals that create
their own fundraisers to help the
Alzheimer's Association and money
for research like double Peak
like Mission Fed Credit Union,
where you can go into any branch and
and make donations and BJ's Brewhouse
where you can get free pizza yukis.
But this is all again to
raise money for research,
but also to let people know important
things about about Alzheimer's and LZ.
Dot Org is the website we
have all kinds of resources.
There we have a 24 hour helpline.
If you're concerned or if someone
in your family or someone a friend
you think has has issues or maybe
they don't want to see a doctor,
you know we have 808 hundred to 7 to 3900.
Is our helpline 24/7?
Wow, it's just getting the message out.
Yeah absolutely.
And you have the whole month
to do it and also partner
with great businesses.
Listen to hearten with it.
Tell us what this partnership
means and how you're raising
money for Alzheimer's. Well, 6
million people in the United
States have this disease and
we are passionate about giving
to charities in the community.
So Friday night we're having a fundraiser
featuring the Johnny Tarr band,
Delicious Tacos by 86 tacos
and yummy beers by Double Peak
Double Peak. Where are you located?
But part of St located
in the Carlsbad, San Marcos border,
Melrose, in Rancho Santa Fe Rd,
OK? And so does a certain
percentage of every beer you
you buy go to Alzheimer's?
Or how is that working?
So Friday night we're giving 10%
of sales back to WOW the charity,
so we want you to come out,
enjoy some tasty beers and tacos
and dance and party to Johnny
Tarr. Well, you're very lucky to have
local organizations pair with you.
Like you said, 6 million people
suffer from this disease.
I'm sure with us a little bit
more about maybe the signs
that people could look out for
sure when when you have
things that are normal aging.
You know, forgetting where you put your
keys or forgetting a name usually.
When something that you
remember shortly after,
or it's something that that comes
to you after a little time,
that may be normal aging,
but when it begins to hurt your
life when it begins to affect
your relationships with your
friends and family when you work,
have have issues.
When you have to start hiding it,
you really should go see a physician.
See your doctor.
You know there are all kinds of people
in the organization with support
groups and things that we have that
can help help you refer to services.
When you're in an advanced stage,
we have we have resources you know to
help with that and tell you where to go.
For support groups,
caregivers give untold in the
US billions of dollars worth
of time in unpaid care.
And it's just people need resources.
So the Alzheimer's Association is.
That's what we're here for
here to help. And and thank
you so much for being with us.
Sharing with that on our
show this morning again and
Double Peak Brewery again.
Share with us when you
can go to support. Come
Friday night from 6 to 9,
we'll be pouring and dancing.
To cure Alzheimer's, I
love it. Amazing and Carlsbad and
San Marcos border, so we're looking
forward to that and you could find
