June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness month, and for the entire month iconic Atlanta buildings, Centennial Tower and the King and Queen buildings at the Concourse Office Park, will turn their exterior lights purple to raise awareness of the deadly disease. Centennial Tower is located in downtown Atlanta and the Concourse Office Park is located at the north I-285 perimeter near GA-400.

Alzheimer's disease, the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States, robs people of their ability to remember and live independently. Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month was created to educate people about the disease, including knowing the 10 signs and how to maintain brain health in order to reduce the risk of cognitive decline.

"Lack of public understanding can delay diagnosis of the disease and reduce people's access to needed resources, which the Georgia Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association is here to provide," says Leslie Gregory, CEO and President - Alzheimer's Association, Georgia Chapter. "This month we are focused on increasing awareness of Alzheimer's disease, the truths and myths behind it and the devastating emotional and financial impact this disease has on families and caregivers."
