I came across this thread and want to keep BUMPING it up to the top....

I am an Education Coordinator for the Alzheimer's Association in my area (MD).  We need everyone's help to find a cure for this disease.  Even if you think you can't do anything, you can.  You can participate in research (don't need to have the disease in some cases), become an advocate (emailing, letter writing, phone calling), volunteer at your local office, or donate $$ (if you are short on time like me).

There are many upcoming medicines and studies that hopefully will find out how to stop Alzheimer's and other related dementias; I suggest you look at www.alz.org for the most current, up to date information on Alzheimer's.

If you need to talk with someone, you can always call our HELPLINE at 1-800-272-3900, read our message boards found on www.alz.org (look for message boards in right column) or you can email me directly at deborah.bauer@alz.org and i'll refer you to a local chapter or give you the help you need via the net.

Remember, you are not alone.  Caregivers often need the most support, even if you live a long distance away.
