Join the Cause

Currently a group called the Caregiver's Army (you can join this support group by clicking on the link below under Yahoo Groups) is collecting signatures for an Alzheimer's Petition.

Their aim is to collect one million or more signatures and present the petition to the U.S. Congress in order to highlight the huge need for more medical research into finding a cure. Anyone can sign this petition, you do not need to be a U.S. citizen, as the idea is to show how important this issue is in all areas of the world.

So if you want your voice to be heard, click on the link above.
