It isn’t until you or a loved one begins to lose their memory that you realize just how important it is. Right now my grandfather is residing in a nursing home. He has been falsely accused of having the beginnings of dementia/Alzheimer’s. While he does not have this devastating disease, there are many that do.
Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer’s. Individuals and agencies and groups worldwide are searching desperately for a cure for this disease that ravages the mind, and thus the person and their family members. Of course, it is important to remember that while the search for a cure is extremely important, the careful care and guidance of those who are currently suffering from the disease must not be forgotten about or overlooked.
Consider making a contribution to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. Help those with Alzheimer’s, and help those who are looking for a cure for Alzheimer’s.

After all, memory screenings are the first steps towards caring and curing.
