Communication is at the heart of being human. Aphasia takes that away — making it hard to speak, understand, read, or write. And it's more common than you may realize:

🧠 1 in 3 stroke survivors experience aphasia.
🧠 Nearly 180,000 new cases are diagnosed in the U.S. each year.
🧠 𝟮+ 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘀 are currently suffering with aphasia.

Aphasia can be frustrating and isolating, but with speech therapy, technology, and family support, many regain skills and discover new ways to connect.

Communication is the bond that holds families together. Protect it by supporting research at thebrf.org.

Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, affecting over 55 million people worldwide. Every 3 seconds, someone develops dementia — meaning nearly everyone will know a parent, grandparent, or friend touched by this condition.

Alzheimer’s challenges memory and thinking, but it also reveals the strength of families, caregivers, and communities who rise to meet it. Their resilience inspires hope and fuels the search for solutions.

Discover more about Alzheimer’s, explore resources, and support research at thebrf.org.

Together, we can move toward a future defined not by loss, but by progress and compassion 💜

Williams Syndrome affects about 1 in 10,000 people worldwide. While that may be rare, every family deserves understanding and support.

From cardiovascular care to educational resources, awareness drives action. It ensures that children and adults with Williams Syndrome get the medical attention and opportunities they need.

Together, we can build a world where rare doesn’t mean forgotten.
