Finally One Symbol For Dementia That Is Recognized Globally

The time has arrived for the world to embrace one global symbol to be inclusive of all types of dementia and acknowledge and spread awareness awareness together.

The Purple Angel was the brain child of Norms McNamara and Jane Moore who wanted to be inclusive of all dementia and all people and organizations around the world to come together to raise awareness of dementia.

Now is the Time to Come Together!

We finally have one symbol representing a global message to raise awareness, hope, and empowerment for all people living and dealing with any form of dementia.

The Purple Angel Campaign shows no signs of slowing down.
