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,

DEAR STEVEN from Big or Bigger
We love technology, and here’s why…
Our good friend, Steven Jae, is battling Leukemia right now. We all wanted to see him and show support, but since we all live far away… we used Google+ to hangout with him! Tomorrow will be a big day for him as he receives a bone marrow transplant.
Every day is a challenge, but we are all here for you, CHEERING you on!
GET WELL SOON, Steven!!! We can’t wait to dance with you when you do :)
<3 Team Steven,
Follow his journey & send him some happy thoughts :) http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/stevenlee

ABOUT PANCREATIC CANCER
We are donating 100% of the profit from this weekend’s Dance for Canswer workshop towards finding a cure for pancreatic cancer. Why the pancreas?
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest types of cancer, but also one of the least talked about. It wasn’t until we lost a visionary, Steve Jobs, to the disease, that people are slowly becoming aware. For me personally (Vivian), I lost my grandmother to pancreatic cancer. I only met her once as a newborn, and the second time was at her funeral.
No one can deny Steve Jobs’ immense contribution to technology, design, and communication. Yet, even with his fortune, he couldn’t be saved from the disease.
Too many lives have been lost to pancreatic cancer.
We need more research
Join us in finding a cure.
