Thank You to All My Supporters on the Alzheimer's Reading Room

By Max Wallack Alzheimer's Reading Room Unfortunately, even with the support of so many tireless Alzheimer’s advocates, and with the support of so many readers at the Alzheimer's Reading Room, and even with the strong support of Bob DeMarco, my cause for Alzheimer’s research is not the winner of the $10,000 award in the Kids Who Give contest. However, the contest was a wonderful experience because I came in contact with so many people who share my passion to make a difference in the course of this disease. Today, one supporter donated $5000 of his private funds for Alzheimer’s research at BUSM.
