It has been a while since I have blogged but we have been very busy behind the scenes. We are building an amazing board and if you read the articles on the "in the news" page you will see we have set a goal to raise $100 million to go towards collaborative research to end Alzheimers and related diseases. Dad has been using a new device to administer insulin to his brain. One theory is that these dementia's are type III diabetes. It is very easy to administer and there are no side effects. Dad is back on a gluten free diet and still exercises 3-4 times per week. Dad has incredible strength and persistence and I am proud to be his daughter.

AuthorDonna Suro here. I am very excited to have this opportunity to help fund research and development of this horrible disease. I am encouraged by all of the theories currently being tested and truly believe we will have a solution to stop the symptoms, if not cure, Alzheimer’s disease by the time my children are of age to be affected. It is astonishing how little money is given to Alzheimer’s research and development compared to the number of people who are and who will be affected by the disease. Alzheimer’s is a family disease. For every person afflicted with Alzheimer’s at least one other person, the primary caregiver, will be equally devastated by the disease. Add in to that equation children and their spouses and grandchildren and you can see how this is a disease that will touch many people. I would venture to make the statement that in the next thirty years every person will be touched in some way by Alzheimer’s disease. Don’t wait until it reaches your family, your close friends, or you personally. Help us make a difference now before that time comes. Every dollar raised through our fund goes directly to financially support research and development of a cure. My father has been a generous contributor in our community and in areas of medical advancement throughout the country for many years. He has always been my super hero and if anyone has a chance to help find the cure it is him. However, we are up against a ticking clock and it is not a position I want anyone else to experience. Regardless of my father’s outcome, I want his legacy to include the solution for stopping the effects of Alzheimer’s disease. We can make that a reality by growing the Stay Sharp Fund to a place it makes a significant impact in the journey for a cure. Thank you for helping to change the outcome of millions of people’s lives through your prayerful giving and support. Please use this page to add your comments. Archives
