WHEN IS THE WORLD GOING TO WAKE UP TO DEMENTIA?
Hello, my name is norrms Mc Namara, Founder of the Global purple Angel dementia campaign which started right here in Torquay Devon UK,
https://www.purpleangel-global.com/world-rocks-against-dementia.html
With friends across the world, this year will be our Fourth WRAD " World rocks against dementia"" As you can see with our latest attachment and information i have sent here, its becoming bigger and bigger every year. This has now become a Global phenomenon and YET??
it gets very little publicity and more worrying some, not all i may add, Large UK dementia and worldwide dementia organizations choose to ignore this. This is a very sad state of affairs by all connected or touched with dementia. If we all joined in, made a little bit more of an effort and asked all we know to join in with this we could do so much more good. We have long said the only way to beat this disease is by working together, so why don't you / they work with us on this ??
There is nothing political about joining in with this, it takes very little time to send a generic email to all and ask them to confirm they will be joining in and then letting us know. The more people are involved, the more those with dementia will know we are thinking about them and helping them in their worst time.
I would appreciate e reply to this e mail please and if you want to know anything else about QWRAD 2019 March 23rd (or that week) please don't hesitate to get in touch
