As you know, I only cover Everest each year to raise awareness and research money to cure Alzheimer’s. 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

Alzheimer’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’s disease. It can hit anybody at any age. It is not genetic or an old person’s disease that comes with aging. There is no cure and is always fatal. But there is hope with research.<\/p>\n

Pepsi is running a contest to award $250,000 to the cause that receives the most votes. The Cure Alzheimer’s Fund<\/a> is in the competition. This is the link to vote:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.refresheverything.com\/curealzheimers<\/p>\n

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

The Cure Alzheimer’s Fund is the only Alzheimer’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

The Cure Alzheimer’s Fund is supported by three families that covers all the overhead. They fund research looking at the root cause of Alzheimer’s and that will lead to a cure one day. Please read more about them at their site<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Please vote.<\/p>\n

Thank you,<\/p>\n
