Two types of herpesvirus may play role in Alzheimer's
A new study found evidence that two strains of human herpesvirus may be connected to Alzheimer's disease. The results showed that brain tissue from people with Alzheimer's-related brain changes had higher levels of the two herpesviruses than healthy brains. Researchers caution that not everyone with these viruses will develop Alzheimer's or another dementia. If confirmed, these findings may create new avenues for treatment and prevention.

Dear Tushar,
Even on The Longest Day® of the year, a special day dedicated to raising funds and awareness for Alzheimer's disease, time moves quickly.
 
And with every tick of the clock, we are reminded that as we grow older, the risk of Alzheimer's increases for ourselves, our friends and our family.
 
As I shared with you this morning, a generous anonymous donor has pledged $50,000 to the Association if we can raise that same amount by midnight tonight. Their gift will help provide local care and support to people living with Alzheimer's and their families.
 
So, if you haven't yet made a gift in response to this critical, one-day $50,000 Matching Gift Challenge, please give generously now.
 
Show your love for those affected by Alzheimer's disease, and show your commitment to raising funds and increasing awareness, by making your donation to the Alzheimer's Association.
 
I'm asking you to please make your gift now so we can achieve our goal. Any amount you give on The Longest Day, up to a total of $50,000, can be doubled for 2x the impact in the fight against Alzheimer's. When you donate today, your gift will further our mission to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.
 
We have until midnight tonight to reach our goal. But you can make a difference — even, double the difference — when you make your gift before the deadline.
 
Thank you.
 
Gratefully,
Donna McCullough

From face-to-face support to online education programs and promising global research initiatives, your gift makes a difference in the lives of all those affected by Alzheimer's and other dementias in your community and across the world.
