Fight Alzheimer's: Support the Alzheimer's Breakthrough Act
Target: U.S. Congress
Sponsored by: Alzheimer's Association
Sponsored by: Alzheimer's Association
As many as 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease: a degenerative brain disorder that affects memory and cognitive functioning. There is no cure yet, but treatments for symptoms, combined with the right services and support, can make life better for millions of Americans.
Just imagine having enough money to fund better Alzheimer treatments and preventions for this devastating disease, and additional help for the estimated 10 million caregivers of Americans with Alzheimer's.
The Alzheimer's Breakthrough Act of 2009 calls for a significant increase in federal Alzheimer research funding - to $2 billion. Four members of Congress are already doing all they can to advance the bi-partisan Breakthrough Act in their respective chambers. But they need your support to persuade Congress to get it pass... and get more Alzheimer funding!
Urge your members of Congress to pass the vitally important Alzheimer's Breakthrough Act and fund critical Alzheimer research and essential caregiver programs.

There should be a general increase in funding for science and mathematics, not just for Alzheimer's research.

my mother has dementia. i would like for the disease to be eliminated; it's painful to think that my siblings, nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews and anyone who might have to deal with it (run on sentence) are not getting the proper care and the pain they will endure...
