If you have an American Express card, please vote for the Alzheimer Association project, which is looking for funding for early diagnosis. It is really exciting to see that the Alzheimer’s project made it into the top 25, but now we need to win the funding! If you don’t have a card and you know someone who does, please pass the message on. Diagnosing Alzheimer’s early means that the patient may be able to take drugs to slow the disease’s progress.

Imagine getting ten more years of quality life because a doctor diagnosed Alzheimer’s instead of blowing off symptoms as simple old age. I really can’t emphasize the importance of early detection enough and it will only take about ten minutes if you haven’t already signed up to vote before. If you have signed up, it will be an even quicker process and it doesn’t even cost you anything!
