由卑詩省阿茲海默症協會與新時代電視攜手合作舉辦的第六屆「關愛腦友記」電視電台籌款日，將為協會籌募經費及提高華人社區對腦退化的關注和認識。
在卑詩省，有超過 85,000 人患有腦退化，而在未來30年，腦退化患者的數目將會激增至 245,000 人。同時，華人社區對腦退化患者仍然有負面標籤，所以我們希望透過此節目提高大眾對腦退化的認識，一起齊心建立腦退化友善社區，讓患者和家人在社區感到被接納、認同，不會受到歧視，繼續過着正常的生活。
今年有什麼新亮點？
為了進一步提高公眾認識，今年電視籌款日將首次在新時代電視 YouTube 頻道直播，令大家更容易一齊參與！
準時收看，齊來支持
10月18日（星期六）晚上8時半將在新時代電視一台全國播出「關愛腦友記」電視籌款夜，並於新時代電視YouTube 頻道(@Fairchildtv) 同步直播。

Produced in partnership with Fairchild Television, the sixth annual Telethon for Alzheimer’s aims to raise funds for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. and increase awareness and understanding of dementia within the Chinese community.
In B.C., it is estimated there are more than 85,000 people living with dementia. In the next 30 years, the number of people living with the disease is projected to increase dramatically to more than 245,000 people. Meanwhile, stigma associated with dementia still exists in the Chinese community. Through the Telethon we hope to build a dementia-friendly community where people living with the disease and their families are welcomed, supported and included, enabling them to maintain the best quality of life possible.
What’s new this year?
To raise even greater awareness, this year’s Telethon will also be live streamed for the first time on Fairchild TV’s YouTube channel – making it easier than ever to join us!
Tune in and take part
Saturday, October 18 at 8:30 p.m. PT – The Telethon for Alzheimer’s will broadcast nationwide on Fairchild TV (FTV1) and livestream on Fairchild TV’s YouTube channel. This 80-minute Cantonese-language program will feature interviews with doctors, researchers and Alzheimer Society of B.C. staff, with stories from people living with dementia and their caregivers.
