The fine folks at USAgainstAlzheimer’s recently hosted an outstanding Activists Network call on two impending clinical trials. We had the pleasure of hearing directly from Dr. Suzanne Craft, Professor of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine at Wake Forest.

Dr. Craft is leading the SNIFF study, which is currently enrolling participants at research centers around the country. In addition, we learned more about the A4 trial, also getting underway. If you’d like to learn more, take a look at the follow up post I wrote for the USA2 by2020 blog: Exciting News on the Research Front.

Hope for the future.

book cover.smI couldn’t be happier or more honored to be a part of this fantastic project. Chicken Soup for the Soul: Living With Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias is now available for pre-sale and will be in bookstores on April 22nd. The book contains 101 personal stories, including one that I wrote about our journey.

I hope everyone will consider purchasing the book and sharing the news with your friends. All royalties are going to the Alzheimer’s Association, which makes the book that much more special.
