What if one night you received an email telling you that you had a 90% chance of developing Alzheimer’s and you were 51 years-old?<\/p>\n

That’s what happened to Jamie Tyrone. She has a rare combination of genes that makes her risk of Alzheimer\u2019s more than 90%. Rather than let those discouraging odds keep her down, she create a non-profit Beating Alzheimer’s Through Embracing Science.<\/p>\n

Her local newspaper, UT San Diego recently profiled her. I found it inspiring.<\/p>\n

It was Jamie who put me in touch with Banner’s Alzheimer’s Institute and the Alzheimer’s Prevention Registry.\u00a0 If the next generation, or two, stands a chance to avoid Alzheimer’s you can help by joining the registry. Simply click on this link<\/p>\n
