click to give $10,000 to Alzheimer's
I just got this message on Facebook, from Max Wallack:
I am a 16 year old sophomore at
Boston University who is dedicating his life to help Alzheimer’s
patients and their caregivers. In 2008, I founded PuzzlesToRemember,
which, by now, has distributed over 19,300 puzzles to Alzheimer’s
facilities around the world. I also volunteer 20 hours a week in an
Alzheimer’s research lab.
I recently learned that I am the
recipient of a $1000 grant from KidsWhoGive, which is a philanthropic
program run by Farm Rich Products. I will be donating these funds to
the Molecular Psychiatry and Aging Lab at BUSM. Donating consumer
goods like puzzles is helpful, but the knowledge created from research
can have a much wider and longer lasting impact on society. There are
5.8 Alzheimer's patients in this country alone, with a new patient being
diagnosed every 58 seconds.I recently learned that KidsWhoGive
having a “run off” competition between the nine students they have
chosen throughout 2012. These students are being voted on by the
general public. The winner will receive $10,000 for their “cause” I
would really like the opportunity to provide $10,000 for research at
Boston University Alzheimer’s Disease Center. Please vote here every day until Feb 5 and help me bring this money to research. Just click on the word “vote”http://kidswhogive.com/vote-on-entries/entry/?submissionId=164This
is a wonderful opportunity for people to donate for Alzheimer’s...
