Alzheimer's Association
In New Zealand, a similar holiday called Forget Me Not Days has been observed on June 5 and 6 every year since 2003. Started by two bank insurances as a way to fun raise for the Alzheimer's Association.
How to Celebrate?
- Try and contact your long lost friends on social media websites and get talking with them.
