I am glad to see that organizations such as this now exist. My only regret is that it had not yet been founded when my mother Frances was diagnosed with dementia in 2000, the year she died. The resources the Alzheimer's Foundation offers would have been invaluable in helping my mother's nursing home caregivers better understand what my mother was experiencing and would have made them more sympathetic.

How dare them! I was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease in November 2011. I am but 54 years old. I so desperately search the sky every single day for some cure or new pill that slows it down. Not for me, I've traveled the 5 stages of denial and have arrived to acceptance. For my children, my family, my mother, my friends. They are devastated as much if not more than I was. They live my disease everyday, more than I. They see their father, their life long partner, their son, their friend, loosing all of his memories, thoughts, and life more and more every day! How much of that money would go to research or a cure if Alzheimer's Foundation of America Chairman Jeffrey Greener or CEO Eric Hall had Alzheimer's Disease or if a mom, dad, brother or sister had it. Crooks and liars are all they are.
