Sponsored by Dakim, Inc. and Alzheimer's Weekly for Alzheimer's Awareness
Month

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- If the favorite senior in your
life is beginning to worry about memory loss and dementias such as Alzheimer's
disease, the 'Give Thanks for Loved Ones' Brain Health Contest sponsored by
Dakim, Inc. and AlzheimersWeekly.com offers a chance to allay those fears. To
coincide with both Thanksgiving and Alzheimer's Awareness Month, five
individuals 65 or older will be selected to receive a $2,500 Dakim
BrainFitness System free of charge including a year's worth of activity
updates. Entry deadline is November 5, 2009.

Just download the entry form at www.dakim.com or www.AlzheimersWeekly.com and
write an essay of up to 500 words telling why your nominee deserves a
proactive strategy to defend himself or herself against the ravages of brain
aging. How will Dakim BrainFitness help your parent or loved one? How will it
help you be a better caregiver? What specific problems are prompting you to
seek brain training for your father, mother, wife, husband, sister, brother or
other family member or friend?

Dakim BrainFitness systems will be awarded to the five nominees with the most
compelling reasons to adopt a dementia-fighting routine. Select entries will
also be posted on a special Dakim forum on AlzheimersWeekly.com to enhance the
support that the website provides to families confronting dementia.

Dakim BrainFitness is the first product designed specifically to help seniors
preserve their brain health and the most widely adopted product of its kind in
senior living communities across the country. Each laptop-sized Dakim unit
comes pre-loaded with entertaining multimedia brain games with the look and
feel of a TV game show. Answers are given simply by touching the screen, with
no keyboard or mouse required.

The system offers different activities designed for users ranging from normal
brain function to moderate dementia. It also self-adjusts in real time based
on user performance, increasing or decreasing difficulty levels within a given
exercise. Activities are played in 20-minute sessions and automatically
updated online every few days.

The Dakim approach is based on 20 years of medical research demonstrating that
consistent, long-term cognitive stimulation can help fight the threat of
dementia.
