JOIN THE MOVEMENT It’s a week of huge advancements for Alzheimer’s Disease! In light of our #AVoid Book Project, to contribute to Alzheimer’s Disease research, we are excited to share these awesome new developments with you!  Awesome news #1: According to Scientific American, 3 recent studies have revealed a clearer picture of Alzheimer’s than ever before. The new technology lead to the discovery of a protein that builds up plaque on a patient’s brain. Of course, there’s still a long way to go, but a small step is a step nonetheless! Awesome news #2: President Obama has joined the fight and is bringing the rest of the country with him. HuffPost & NYT reported that the Obama Administration is about to increase spending on Alzheimer’s research by $80 million. Alzheimer’s Disease is no joke; We’re glad President Obama is recognizing it and doing something about it. Awesome news #3: After hearing all these cool advancements, don’t you want to advance the Alzheimer’s Disease research yourself? YOU CAN! Only 3 days left to submit a photo of a treasured memory along with a donation to be featured in our book, AVoid. More info here!  Always go bigger, Denise

My personal story with Alzheimer’s disease..elliphantom: My Handsome Grandpa I never saw my grandpa like this, tall an athletic. By the time I was born, my grandpa had survived 2 strokes and was in his early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Despite his memory loss, we developed a close bond. He’s the reason I love 客家 food, the reason I love San Diego day trips, and the reason I love being a Peng彭. In high school, I went to visit him in Taiwan. At that point, Alzheimer’s had taken pretty much his whole memory. My mom, sister, and I walked into his room and greeted him. No response.But then I felt someone hold my hand…. and it was my grandpa. No words were exchanged. He just stroked my hand and cried. At that moment, I knew he remembered and loved us. I am lucky to have gotten that last glimpse of recognition. But for many people, that recognition never comes back. Let’s do something to save our memories. Join the Big or Bigger movement and donate a memory of your First Love.

My Handsome Grandpa

I never saw my grandpa like this, tall an athletic. By the time I was born, my grandpa had survived 2 strokes and was in his early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Despite his memory loss, we developed a close bond. He’s the reason I love 客家 food, the reason I love San Diego day trips, and the reason I love being a Peng彭.

In high school, I went to visit him in Taiwan. At that point, Alzheimer’s had taken pretty much his whole memory. My mom, sister, and I walked into his room and greeted him. No response.

But then I felt someone hold my hand…. and it was my grandpa. No words were exchanged. He just stroked my hand and cried. At that moment, I knew he remembered and loved us.

I am lucky to have gotten that last glimpse of recognition. But for many people, that recognition never comes back. Let’s do something to save our memories. Join the Big or Bigger movement and donate a memory of your First Love.
