Project for: people who have loved ones with Dementia or Alzheimer's (cognitive decline) or are challenged with it themselves

Dear CareRing Members,

We would like to invite you to participate in our World Alzheimer’s Activities.

For this year’s World Alzheimer’s Month (WAM), the global patient advocacy organization Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) has announced the campaign theme: "The earlier you know, the more you can do: A dementia diagnosis matters."

Throughout WAM 2026, Roche aims to support and amplify ADI’s efforts and the wider Alzheimer’s community by focusing on four key pillars:

• Elevating Lived Experience: Giving people with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers a platform to share personal stories, showing how an earlier diagnosis creates opportunities to plan for the future and access support.

• Highlighting Scientific Advancement: Building awareness that Alzheimer’s science and care are rapidly evolving, meaning families can benefit heavily from earlier conversations and clearer information.

• Emphasizing Why Timing Matters: Educating the public on how early identification opens doors to proactive, informed healthcare choices.

• Championing a Holistic View: Supporting a broader perspective on Alzheimer’s progress that encompasses patients, families, care partners, health systems, and society as a whole.

How you can get involved: If you are interested in sharing your perspective, we would love to schedule a brief call to discuss the opportunity. Optimally, we would like to find 8-10 participants. 

This initiative will require approximately 1–2 hours of your time. During this window, we will record an audio session of your responses to a few questions about your journey. We will focus on how earlier conversations and a timely diagnosis can help unlock possibilities—such as planning for the future, finding community support, and understanding potential treatment options.

If you would like to participate, please reach out to Wendy Gold [[email protected]]. Please see the full plan HERE. 

Thank you so much in advance for your time, consideration, and continued partnership.
