Good News

Last month there was some good news released for the victims of Alzheimer's Disease and their families. If passed The Alzheimer's Breakthrough Act of 2009 (S. 1492 & H.R. 3286) will provide needed funding for researchers in pursuit of better diagnosis, prevention, treatment and possibly a cure for this devastating disease.

We have also learned of some good news for people like my Wife Sue with younger-onset Alzheimer's. The Social Security Administration (SSA) held a hearing to examine whether these individuals with younger-onset Alzheimer's disease or related dementias should be included in its Compassionate Allowances Initiative.

God Bless America, God Save The Republic.
