Alzheimer's Foundation

I never knew much about the Alzheimer's disease or how seriously it can affect the people who have it and their families until my wife learned of her Grandma having it years ago. It's a really sad disease, and one that you hear more and more about with each passing year. I know for my wife and our family it's difficult to see her Grandmother like this. She was such a sharp woman...and now she doesn't even know who we are. The most sad part of it all is that at the time there is no cure. I would love it if we could find a cure for this disease and would like to make people more aware of it. This month in particular I would like to help spread the word about different ways to help raise money and find a cure because it's actually Alzheimer's awareness month. If you have someone that you know who has Alzheimer's I'm sure you feel just as strongly about getting the word out there about this terrible disease as I do. It's very important that we remember, that all though we don't have a cure for the disease, we need to continue to give quality care to those who have it. It's very important that they get the best care possible. The holidays are a very good time to show how much you care by shopping at the Alzheimer's Foundation of America eStore for a holiday gift. This is a great way to help because the proceeds benefit the Alzheimer's Foundation of America. You can learn more about it on their site, http://www.alzfdn.org/. Check it out today and see what you think.
