LBD Awareness Month

LBDA has served the Lewy body dementia community for over 19 incredible years, and this year we want to shine a light on LBD awareness and share stories and experiences to bring hope to others. Utilizing the hashtag #LivingWellwithLewy, we aim to spread awareness of this devastating disease and encourage our community to live well even after a diagnosis.

#LivingWellwithLewy is a visual and infographic awareness campaign displaying all things related to Lewy body dementia. This includes pictures and videos of healthcare professionals, researchers, nutrition, physical health, caregiving, social relationships, and avenues of support, illustrating the daily life of those living with LBD and their families while emphasizing that this disease does not define who you are.

Interested in participating? Share your story with us on social media by using the hashtag #LBDandMe or tagging LBDA. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
