The Million Email Crusade for Alzheimer's


Did Albert Einstein say, “The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest....."
Most people interpret this quote as referring to interest rates -- the interest rate, or rate of return you earn on your investments.

It is doubtful that Einstein actually said these words.

That said, there can be little doubt that there is a powerful force in the universe -- the compound interest of man(kind).

When people band together to accomplish a mission they become a very powerful force. The force of change.

I receive email and comments on this blog from people complaining that Alzheimer's disease is misunderstood; and, if people understood Alzheimer's they would be doing more about the disease (problem).

I agree there is a problem.

I wonder can we, the collective brain of the Alzheimer's Reading Room, become a solution to the problem. What can We do to change the situation?

I am envisioning something we could do right here on the Alzheimer's Reading Room. An all out effort to make a major difference in the future funding for Alzheimer's disease research.
