September is .
Alzheimer’s disease (pronounced “alz-HAI-mirs”) is a brain condition that causes a progressive decline in memory, thinking, learning and organizing skills. It eventually affects a person’s ability to carry out basic daily activities. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia.
This month, and every month, we work hard to change the future for women and Alzheimer’s disease.
We also recognize that women are at the epicenter of the global Alzheimer’s epidemic and believe that cutting edge research on women’s brains is necessary to change the course of the disease. We raise money for critical women-based research and instigate the creation of women-based initiatives at leading scientific institutions, universities, foundations and organizations. We partner with leading researchers and non-profit organizations that share our vision and hope to create women’s Alzheimer’s research funds that finance high potential, gender-based scientific investigations. We are aggressively seeking answers to the question: Why are women disproportionately affected by Alzheimer’s and related dementias? Answering that question requires a sharp focus on what is particular to women’s biology, genetics, and lifestyle.
