Fighting Alzheimer's one ribbon at a time

By THCB Staff

Caring.com and the Alzheimer’s Association have teamed up to spread awareness about the disease through an online Purple Ribbon campaign.

The official campaign ended earlier this year with 1,000 blogs and websites displaying the purple ribbon, but ribbons are still available for creating. For each ribbon created, Caring.com donates $10 to the Alzheimer's Association for education programs.

Anyone who wants to help raise awareness for Alzheimer’s disease can create a free web ribbon with just a few clicks. You can personalize the ribbon with a loved one’s name and it comes in different shades and sizes to match your website or blog.

Also, if you’re an adult child or caregiver caring for a parent or loved one with Alzheimer’s, visit the Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias section of Caring.com for helpful information and resources.
