Today, I am asking you to vote to help. I am not asking for money, just your vote. It is easy and if you appreciate what I am doing on my site you will help.<\/p>\n<p>Alzheimer&#8217;s took my mother last August and two of my aunts. In addition, over 5 million people in the US and 25 million around the world have Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. It can hit anybody at any age. It is not genetic or an old person&#8217;s disease that comes with aging. There is no cure and is always fatal. But there is hope with research.<\/p>\n<p>Pepsi is running a contest to award $250,000 to the cause that receives the most votes. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.curealzfund.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Cure Alzheimer&#8217;s Fund<\/a> is in the competition. This is the link to vote:<\/p>\n<p>You can vote multiple times and sign in through your Facebook page. It is easy, fast and simple. The money will fund research and nothing else.<\/p>\n<p>The Cure Alzheimer&#8217;s Fund is the only Alzheimer&#8217;s nonprofit devoted purely to research and where 100% of your donation go to research and none to overhead. This is unique since many other nonprofits can spend as much as 30% of your donation on their overhead.<\/p>\n<p>The Cure Alzheimer&#8217;s Fund is supported by three families that covers all the overhead. They fund research looking at the root cause of Alzheimer&#8217;s and that will lead to a cure one day. Please read more about them at their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.curealzfund.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">site<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Normally, you are asked for your money. This is only a few moments of your time that will perhaps save your memory and your life one day.<\/p>\n<p>Please vote now.
