Since then, Mary Joy, Jerre and their family have been dedicated supporters of the Association, and they've pledged to match every gift received by June 15, up to an incredibly generous total of $500,000.   Will you make your gift today to help advance Alzheimer's care, support and research while it can be matched? If we raise $500,000 to match the Stead's generous pledge, that will mean $1 million dedicated to the fight against Alzheimer's. When the Steads were first impacted by Alzheimer's, there was very little information available about what to expect and how to cope. Since then, they have been committed to ensuring people have a place to quickly and easily get the support and resources they need. Their pledge will be dedicated to the Alzheimer's Association free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900), where master's-level clinicians offer expert advice, care consultation and support. “I hope we can touch hundreds of thousands of families and individuals, so they don't have to live through the fear and uncertainty faced by so many before them.” – Jerre Stead Donate now. Please consider make making your first gift before June 15, while your impact can be DOUBLED to 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.   Thank you for your help as we work to end this disease.   Sincerely, Donna McCullough Chief Development Officer     Your donation will strengthen our efforts to advance Alzheimer's care, support and research.

Researchers found that every hour of light exercise in addition to recommended weekly levels of more intense activity reduced brain aging by roughly a year. The scientists cautioned, however, that while the results show a link, they don't prove that physical activity keeps the brain healthy.
