Hope through research
“There's only two ways it can go: researchers, with as much help we can give them, may come up with something that reduces the effects of this dreadful, inhuman disease, or we will have to face the consequences of our failure to prevent the final years of many of us being a long bad dream. The strain on carers and their support is bad enough now; before very long the effects on the health service and society itself will be unbearable.”
Sir Terry Pratchett OBE, Patron of the Alzheimer's Research Trust
