The Alzheimer’s Association says that the funding for Alzheimer’s research for 2007 has been restored. Thanks to everyone who wrote to their representatives to let them know how much this research means to us!
If you haven’t gotten involved in the Alzheimer’s Advocate network yet and want to work to make sure the proposed 2008 budget cuts go the same way, here’s the link. Sometimes a simple email or handwritten letter to your congressperson can make a difference, especially if you tell how Alzheimer’s is affecting your family.

I wanted to alert you that there’s a new study that sheds light on the economies of Alzheimer’s drug development and treatment.
The study was sponsored by ACT-AD, a coalition of 49 national organizations representing patients, providers, caregivers, consumers, older Americans, researchers and employers and shows that the U.S. could save trillions of dollars by 2050 if critical Alzheimer’s treatments were available.
Feel free to contact me for more information or if you’d like to receive a copy of the report.
