Dear Fellow Members

Please help this campaign for drug treatment to help thousands of people with Alzheimer's disease. You probably know a family member, a friend, a neighbour who has this terrible disease.

Send this email to everyone you know. The more people who campaign,the more the NHS and the government will sit up and take notice. The cost for these drugs is only £2.50 a day, which are both clinically and cost effective.

Please copy and paste this linkk onto your browser: http://www.alzheimers.org.uk/Alzhe...
This will take you onto the Action on Alzheimer's Drug page.
About two thirds down the page you can contact your MP by email, can campaign online, or send a template letter (I Don't Want To Forget), just by clicking on any of the relevant links. It's very easy to do and will only take a few moments.
Please help spread this message. Together we can all make a difference. Many thanks.

" Although you are obviously based in England; the Alzheimer's Patient's Plight for all products and services are great, in every corner of the world.

Not only Alzheimer's Disease has it's needs, so too do all the dementia diagnosis!!

However, as much as we all agree on this push for care, I am not so sure that lawmakers and others in England are going to give two hoots to the Alien commentaries of Americans or other Nationalities.

However, we can all hold hands in the hope of cures and effective treatments and therapy options to be available to ALL those who are diagnosed. "
