Kentucky is reportedly the first state in the country to offer a specialty license plate drawing attention to Alzheimer’s disease.
Bari Lewis with the Greater Kentucky and Southern Indiana chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association says a number of other states are working on similar vehicle tag projects.
Chapter Director DeeAnna Esslinger says it will be a visible reminder of those suffering from the memory loss disorder, while also helping to raise funds for local education initiatives.
The plate features a forget-me-not flower with a purple background and the words “Honor. Remember. Care. End Alzheimer’s.”
Nearly 70,000 people across Kentucky are afflicted with Alzheimer’s.
