1MTweets seeks to digitally memorialize one million people who have lived with Alzheimer's disease by having their loved ones tweet about them. Alzheimer's robs people of their memories, so this movement is both a powerful and poetic way to ensure we're remembering those who can no longer remember for themselves. Everyone who tweets will be asked to donate a minimum of a dollar to Alzheimer's research through the Alzheimer Society of Canada or the Alzheimer Association in the US depending on the country.

Whether you're on Twitter or not, there is a ton you can do.

Any one of these things will make a real difference:
  1. Tell as many people as you can about this movement and urge them to visit the site TODAY! http://1mtweets.com/
  2. Are you on Twitter? If yes:
    1. If you are not already signed up on Twitter, sign up now (free, quick and very easy (https://twitter.com/signup) and follow the instructions in #2 above
    2. Become a fan on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/1MTweets
    3. Check out 1MTweets' videos on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/user/1mtweets
  3. If you know any celebrities or high profile tweeters who have a connection to this disease, or who are always up for a worthwhile cause (especially those already on Twitter), please let them know about 1Mtweets.
If we can build momentum for this movement right out of the gate today and get people to the site quickly, there's no reason 1Mtweets can't be one of the fastest growing social movements in history.
