And the answer is really, really hard. Not impossible, just hard. And your help is needed.<\/p>\n<p>I know we are consistently asked to give to a multitude of worthy causes. However, since you visit this site, I hope that you will feel that a donation to Alzheimer&#8217;s is a worthy way of saying thanks.<\/p>\n<p>The Cure Alzheimer&#8217;s Fund is my choice for research because 100% of all donations only go to research and none to overheard or other expenses. This from their President, Tim Armour:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Alzheimer&#8217;s isn&#8217;t just a terrible disease that affects millions of Americans. It should be a vital part of the health care debate in Washington. Because, if we don&#8217;t cure Alzheimer&#8217;s, the ment and care for this disease alone could bankrupt the entire health care system.<\/p>\n<p>Most people don&#8217;t realize this, but the cost of Alzheimer&#8217;s alone will be $2 trillion by 2050 &#8211; more than wiping out our Medicare and Medicaid programs.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, our politicians in Washington have forgotten this important fact. We must cure Alzheimer&#8217;s now. And, that&#8217;s exactly why the Cure Alzheimer&#8217;s Fund was founded.<\/p>\n<p>Please help fund Cure Alzheimer&#8217;s now &#8212; contribute to our holiday fundraising drive $30,000 in 30 days to be a part of a cure:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.curealzfund.org\/\">http:\/\/www.curealzfund.org\/donate\/30-000-in-30-days-to-cure-alzheimers-2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>What we do right now is critical &#8212; not only because we must cure this devastating disease so no one has to watch a loved one suffer again, but, because the health of our entire health care system depends on it. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thank you for your support to find a cure for Alzheimer&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Climb On!<br \/>\nAlan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past few years, I can summarize the challenge about Alzheimer&#8217;s, medical research and fund raising in one of my favorite [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[28],"class_list":["post-1691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-alzheimers","tag-cure-alzheimers-fund"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1691"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1691\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
