The Shadow Box Memory Project for Alzheimer's Awareness: A Survey

My “shadow box” (a 12 in. by 12 in. recessed frame for pictures and memorabilia) honoring my mother, Judy, who lived with Alzheimer’s diseaseDo you know what Alzheimer's disease lacks in the United States? A national campaign like the AIDS Memorial Quilt Project: a sea of images that would evoke the true personal and collective cost of Alzheimer's disease.

The newly-formed WomenAgainstAlzheimer’s Network would like to launch just such a national awareness campaign. They call it the "Shadow Box Memory Project," but so far it's limited to a few leaders in Alzheimer's advocacy. Should WomenAgainstAlzheimer's expand the project nationwide? That's the question--and you can help them decide. Take their 2-minute survey here to help them gauge interest in the Shadow Box Memory Project.

Shadow boxes are 12 in. by 12 in. recessed frames that hold photos and memorabilia honoring a loved one. Imagine thousands of such boxes side by side, row upon row--like a giant quilt. Imagine the effect of such a display on those in power, our representatives who have been in denial about the dementia epidemic and the need for a massive increase in Alzheimer's research funding. And the effect on those without much power, those of us who may feel alone in our struggles with dementia or caregiving.
