Making Alzheimer's History!

I am thrilled! I got this email that stated that the senate has approved to put more money into Alzheimer's research! My team, the Ambassador's and the volunteers from the Alzheimer's organization are so very happy to hear this news! Our hard work is paying off!

Dear Brooke,
As an advocate in the fight to end Alzheimer's, you understand how critical research funding is to the Alzheimer’s Association’s commitment stop this deadly disease as soon as possible. That is why it is my great pleasure to share very encouraging news with you.
This morning, the Senate Labor-HHS Appropriations Subcommittee informed us that they will propose our requested $400 million increase in Alzheimer’s research funding for FY2017. If approved and signed into law, this new funding would be in addition to the historic $350 million increase signed into law several months ago at the close of 2015.
View the Association’s statement on today’s important news. 
Thank you for all you have done to make today’s news possible. 
Sincerely,

Robert Egge
Alzheimer’s Association Chief Public Policy Officer | Executive Vice President, Government Affairs
