Take a Moment to Take Action: The Time is Now!
Senator Frank R. Lautenberg of New Jersey, on Alzheimer's Disease:

Picture
As you can see, the statistics reflect the current status of Alzheimer's Disease and it's implications. While I applaud the efforts, I recognize that more needs to be done, or the impact will be staggering.  By 2050, the amount of people who suffer from this illness will have tripled, as the baby-boomer generation grows older.  With the help of advocacy groups such as the Alzheimer's Association, and government officials, it will improve.  However, we can do more, so let us do it together.  Take a moment, write your senator, or any local officials, and make your voice count.  This letter was written prior to the passing of my father, and I will not relent until we have found a cure, and neither should you!
In my experience, families of loved ones whom have passed as a result of this disease, react individually.  Some feel compelled to get involved while others never speak of it again.  

On behalf of our loved ones, please don't leave a trail of silence...
Make a phone call...
Write a letter...
Volunteer...
Get involved. 
Thanks.
