Alzheimer's disease is a debilitating condition where friends and family of sufferers can do nothing but witness degradation over time. This is so difficult and something I can personally attest to, my Father suffering with the condition for many years before he passed away.

Over 850,000 people are currently living with dementia in the UK and that number is rapidly rising. At £26 billion each year, dementia costs the UK economy more than cancer and heart disease combined, but over two thirds of the care for dementia patients is paid for by themselves or their family. 

£20 could fund one hour of vital research.

£50 could provide access to specialist equipment for studying cells.

£120 could support complex protein analysis.

£300 could pay for a genetic test to help identify risk genes.
