            House Resolution No. 126.  

            A resolution to declare September 21, 2011, as Alzheimer's Action Day in the state of Michigan.

            Whereas, Alzheimer's Action Day is an opportunity to raise awareness about Alzheimer's disease and the need for more education, support and research; and

            Whereas, Tens of thousands of families across Michigan are affected by this disease; and

            Whereas, Today, there are more than 35 million people living with dementia worldwide; and

            Whereas, Alzheimer's disease is the only cause of death among the top 10 in America without a way to prevent, cure or even slow its progression; and

            Whereas, It is going to take all of us to end this disease, but together, we can move toward a world without Alzheimer's; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare September 21, 2011, as Alzheimer's Action Day in the state of Michigan. We join with organizations and individuals around the globe to recognize this occasion.
