World Alzheimer's Day 2001
Around the world on Alzheimer's Day - 21 September
World Alzheimer's Day continues to go from strength to strength and over 40 countries commemorated the day on 21 September 2001. For the Alzheimer associations of China and Hungary, this was the first year that World Alzheimer's Day has been observed in their country.
This year, ADI issued a press release on World Alzheimer's Day supported by television celebrity Anne Robinson. Although ADI did not organise an event, we did participate in member activities. Nori Graham, ADI chairman, attended Alzheimer Scotland - Action on Dementia's inaugural annual lecture delivered by Susan Deacon MSP in Edinburgh. Susan Frade, membership and information officer, participated in the Berlin's first Memory Walk organised by the Deutsche Alzheimer Gesellschaft.
