Alzheimer's Disease encroaches in a surreptitious, covert and merciless manner. It destroys the lives of the sufferer and those who love them. There are almost 5 million affected today in North America. In 20 years this is predicted to double. There is hope though in research. Although early days, there are already treatments which can slow the progression of symptoms. Its a small start, but it is a start and research continues; who knows there could be a breakthrough being discovered in some laboratory this very minute. To mention two relevent initiatives here..
Denis Dronjic is currently fundraising for Alzheimers research through a sponsored walk to Santiago Denis himself, nearly killed in a bike accident a year ago is now able to (miraculously to the doctors) walk again so is undertaking the walk in appreciation of his remarkabe recovery.
Look soon for a new book relating to Alzheimers, and the beautiful Pacific Northwest (Washington State N.W) by Lyn Hansen-Blizzard "A Story for You.. The Darker side of Life".
