Alzheimer's

In my spare time I have created a website for our local Alzheimer's Resource Center. It is a place for families that have questions about caring for an Alzheimer's patient to go for answers. It also offers respite grants to families in need, provides speakers for doctors and nurses on the care of Alzheimer's patients, and conducts caregiver meetings.
Recently, the director and I were talking and she mentioned how many children are confused by the way their grandparents with Alzheimer's behave or can no longer do/remember the things they could previously.

I became interested in Alzheimer's research five years ago when my father was diagnosed with the disease at 52 years of age. This year,(after moving from Denver, CO to Fort Smith, AR) I decided I wanted to do something to help. I went to one of the few people I felt I could talk to; my science teacher, Steve Arnold. After telling him about my dad and what I wanted to do, he sent out an e-mail to everyone on his list asking if they knew a way that I could get in touch with someone who knew how I could help.
