Many of the people who participate in the Purple Party or one of the other dementia awareness events in the area have lost someone or have a loved one who is facing Alzheimer’s Disease or a similar condition. The hope of the events is that people are more aware of the disease and that money raised to support research will eventually find better treatments and a cure.

Purple Party set to fight Alzheimer’s on July 18

MOSES LAKE – Losing your grip on memories is not only frustrating for Alzheimer’s Disease patients and their families, but it’s something that impacts the community in multiple ways. On July 18, the Columbia Basin community will have a chance to come together to support the fight against the condition by participating in the Purple Party, a precursor to the local Walk to End Alzheimer’s set for September 14.
