The Alzheimer’s Association Northeastern New York chapter has announced that registration for its “Paint the Peaks Purple” challenge in the Adirondack Mountains is open for registration. Sun Community News reports the challenge is part of The Longest Day, a unique DIY fundraising event held annually on the day with the most light – the summer solstice. On that day and leading up to it, communities around the world rally together to stand up to the darkness of Alzheimer’s and honor the estimated 6.2 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s, including 410,000 in New York State, and their caregivers.
