JOGLE for The Alzheimer's Society

(John O'Groats - Lands End)

Starting 20th June 2008 Dave and Nick, two psychiatric nurses and corrupt manager Steve aim to cycle John O'Groats to Lands End, unsupported in 9 Days. They will be joined by Dr Steve for most of Scotland. The reason for this madness is to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Society and promote awareness of the disease and its massive impact on both sufferers and their families.

Expert Q and A on Alzheimers

From the New York Times : Tracing the Path from DNA to Dementia

Dr. Marcelle Morrison-Bogorad is director of the neuroscience and neuropsychology of aging program at the National Institute on Aging. In collaboration with the Alzheimer's Association, the institute runs the Alzheimer's Disease Genetics Initiative, which is collecting and banking genetic and cellular material from families in which multiple relatives have late-onset Alzheimer's, the most common form of the disease.
