Hello,
My mother died 1 1/2 years ago of cancer, she was 80 years old. She started getting dimentia in her middle 50's. I was a long road with her but we were fortunate that she was so kind and loving, until it got advanced. I want to raise awareness and funds to help in the research of Dimentia and Alzheimers. It is a disease that kills more slowly than cancer, it is a long process that can send some people that are not strong over the edge sometimes. I know because it tore my family of 8 apart. So if anyone can point me in the right direction i would appreciate your help. I live in Michigan.
Thank you
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Welcome to Talking Point (TP).

Your commitment to help in the fight against Alzheimer's is a great way of remembering your mom.

This site is part of the Alzheimer's Society which deals mostly with issues in the United Kingdom.

You might also want to contact the Michigan chapter of the Alzheimer's Association:

Take care,
