The World Alzheimer’s Run 2022 will also take place on Langeoog on Friday, September 23rd from 3 p.m. The meeting point is at the TSL sports center (Kavalierpad 15). You can register online in advance.
The sports team of the Tourismus-Service-Langeoog would like to draw attention to the disease together with the participants in the World Alzheimer’s Run and support the research work through the run. The route length offered is five kilometers. This can be done running or walking.
For every kilometer run, the Alzheimer Research Initiative eV donates 20 cents to help make Alzheimer’s curable.
Alzheimer’s disease – also known as “Alzheimer’s dementia” – is the most common form of dementia and an incurable disorder of the brain. Due to the death of nerve cells in the brain, people with Alzheimer’s become increasingly forgetful, confused and ultimately disoriented. As the disease progresses, the memory, consciousness and personality of those affected are increasingly destroyed. This is often a very painful and tormenting process for both patients and their families.
The Alzheimer Research Initiative eV (AFI) has been working for more than 25 years to find a cure for the disease of forgetting. However, Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia are complex diseases that are still not fully understood.
