The Longest Day is a do-it-yourself event held annually on the day with the most light the Summer Solstice. On that day and leading up to it, people stand up to the darkness of Alzheimer’s and honor the estimated 6.2 million Americans living with the disease, including 410,000 in New York state, and their caregivers.
