How
Fight For An End (FFE) seeks to raise awareness within our youth on the Alzheimer’s disease. We believe that everyone should be educated on the effects of this disease and what they can do to help provide support for researchers fighting for an end.
Why
We believe that no matter how old you are, you have a voice in the fight against Alzheimer’s. In memory of all those we’ve lost to the disease, we want to do everything we can to prevent further tragedy from happening in our communities.
Where
We are a Miami based organization. To join the cause, see our events page. Not a Miami local? No problem! You can still educate yourself and spread awareness in your community.
