I am humbled by this action offered/taken by Angela.

My original goal was $200-now up to $300. I'm upping it to $500.

Please help me fund research for a cure for Dementia and more specifically, Alzheimers. It changed our entire life walking Mom her through her journey to her passing in 4/17.

I am dedicating the rest of my life's fundraising efforts to a cure.

Thank you Angela!!!

Aw heck... with all the money I throw at video cards, I think I can spare a few bucks on this important research too! This is a very good cause as there have been some significant breakthroughs in our understanding of the biochemical mechanisms recently, which has led to some very promising treatments in development, so this is when funding is most needed. We may see treatments, for Alzheimer's at least, available within a few years.

Good that you are doing this, especially in honor of your mom. :^)

My mom has dementia. She's not as bad as some folks, God bless them, but she's got it. She'll be 92 in November.

I've donated.

Thanks, Blurf, for doing this.
