he Alzheimer’s Association on Friday, June 21, invites the community to honor those facing Alzheimer’s disease by participating in “The Longest
Day.” From sunrise to sunset, the association urges people to gather their friends, family or coworkers as a team to make a difference in the lives of families living with Alzheimer’s. Each team member is asked to raise $100 for each hour they do what they love to do — from sun up to sundown. The challenge is to have the team participate for the whole day, either simultaneously or one after the other, relay-style. Run. Walk. Hike. Paddle. Swim. Dance. Make music. Play bridge. The challenge is up to each team. For 16 consecutive hours on June 21, teams will complete their chosen activities to raise funds and awareness for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association. For people facing Alzheimer’s disease, the challenge is every day. For you, it’s just this “one day.” Start a team to show you’re in it until Alzheimer’s is finished. Alzheimer’s disease is global epidemic. Worldwide, more than 35 million people are living with the disease. • Alzheimer’s disease is the sixthleading cause of death in the United States. It kills more Americans than diabetes, and more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.
• More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050. • More than 15 million Americans are Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers, fulfilling a financially, emotionally and physically draining role. • Alzheimer’s disease is the ultimate thief — of memories, independence,of control, and ultimately, of life. Join “The Longest Day” to show that you’re in it until Alzheimer’s is finished. Register online at alz.org/thelongestday, or call 800-272.3900. It is time to show those facing Alzheimer’s disease that they are not alone. Now is the time to say, “I will never give up. I will never back down. I will defeat Alzheimer’s.” About the Alzheimer’s Association: The leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research. The association is dedicated to finding prevention methods, treatments and an eventual cure for Alzheimer’s. For more than 25 years, the donor-supported Alzheimer’s Association has provided reliable information and care consultation, created supportive services for families, increased funding for dementia research, and influenced public policy changes. The California Central Chapter serves the families of Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Kern counties.

COURTESY OF THE ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION ne in three seniors die from Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia in the United States, according to Alzheimer’s Association’s “2013 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures” report released in March. The new report shows that while deaths from other major diseases — such as heart disease, HIV/AIDS and stroke — continue to experience significant declines, Alzheimer’s deaths continue to rise, increasing 68 percent from 2000 to 2010. “California is home to almost half a million people living with Alzheimer’s disease,” said Rhonda Spiegel, executive director of the California Central Chapter. “With deaths from this disease continuing to rise, it is clear that urgent, meaningful action is necessary. Our community needs to come together to fight against this disease, particularly as more and more people age into greater risk for developing a disease that today has no cure.” Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, and is the only leading cause of death without a way to prevent, cure or even slow its progression. Based on 2010 data, Alzheimer’s was reported as the underlying cause of death for 83,494 individuals. Alzheimer’s Association 2013 Facts and Figures reveals that in 2013, an estimated 450,000 people in the United States will die with Alzheimer’s. The true number of deaths caused by Alzheimer’s is likely to be somewhere between the officially reported number of those dying from, and those dying with, Alzheimer’s. According to Alzheimer’s Association 2013 Facts and Figures, a recent study evaluated the contribution of individual common diseases to death using a nationally representative sample of older adults and found that dementia was the second largest contributor to death behind heart failure. Among 70-years-olds with Alzheimer’s disease, 61 percent are expected to die within a decade. Among 70-year-olds without Alzheimer’s, only 30 percent will die within a decade.

wned by mother and successful businesswoman Tami Calderwood, Apricot Lane Boutique at The Marketplace appeals to mothers and daughters, teens through 50s. The perfect business model for mompreneurs, Calderwood’s own daily balance includes getting two kids off to school each day before opening the doors on her other “child,” her very successful boutique. While mothers and daughters team up to shop, Apricot Lane Boutique offers the best trends and styles to help express individual personal style. And what better way to find that perfect outfit than by the help of a mother herself, whose own mother enjoys her boutique as much as she does. Calderwood opened her Apricot Lane store more than two-and-a-half years ago due to a strong desire to be in the fashion world and help others feel their best. Graduating with a degree in agriculture business, Calderwood worked in that field for seven years prior to becoming a teacher and working in the Kern High School District. She designed her own home and acted as general contractor before realizing fashion is where her passion lied. Calderwood took her intense desire for perfection and helping other women achieve looks that make them feel their best, along with the need to make shoppers feel special the minute they walk through her doors, to build the successful business she has today. At the end of the day, making others feel good is what makes Calderwood happy, she said. “Being able to be a mother and business owner fulfills my own dreams, and hopefully the dreams of my daughters, too, should they want to own their own business as well,” Calderwood said. “It’s fun to see my friends and fellow moms shopping in my store, as well as their moms and my kids’ teachers who come in all of the time looking for outfits.” With the conscious effort to make the boutiques feel like a client is shopping in their best friends’ closet — with music videos running, a lounge area to relax in, and special events throughout the year to give moms and women of any ages the perfect excuse for a girls night out — Calderwood

breakthroughs that prevent, slow or stop the disease, the number of people with Alzheimer’s disease could reach 13.8 million by 2050. Previous estimates suggest that number could be high as 16 million. Alzheimer’s and dementia place an enormous burden on individuals and families. In 2012, more than 15 million caregivers provided more than 17 billion hours of unpaid care valued at $216 billion. In California, that translates to more than 1.5 million caregivers providing 1.7 million hours of unpaid care that is valued at $21 million. Individuals with dementia often require increasing levels of supervision and personal care as the disease progresses. As symptoms exacerbate as the disease progresses, the care required of family members and friends can often result in increased emotional stress and health challenges for caregivers. Due to the physical and emotional toll of caregiving, Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers had $9.1 billion in additional health care costs of their own in 2012. The burden on the nation’s health care system and government programs is also enormous. According to the report, the total payments for health and long-term care services for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias will total $203 billion in 2013, the lion’s share of which will be borne by Medicare and Medicaid with combined costs of $142 billion. Despite these staggering figures today, by 2050 total costs will increase 500 percent to $1.2 trillion. “Alzheimer’s disease steals everything — steadily, relentlessly, inevitably. With baby boomers reaching the age of elevated risk, we do not have time to do what we have always done,” said Robert Egge, vice president of public policy for the Alzheimer’s Association. “The National Institutes of Health needs to reset its priorities and focus its resources on the crisis at our doorstep, and Congress must fully fund implementation of the National Alzheimer’s Plan to solve the crisis.” The full text of report can be viewed at www.alz.org. The full report also appears in the March 2013 issue of Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association (Volume 9, Issue 2). You can also read the report in its entirety at www.bakersfieldvoice.com.
