The Alzheimer's Project

For anyone who has not seen this 5-part documentary on HBO, I recommend that you take the time to watch.  I was more than just a little interested in the documentary.  I have had my own experience with this terrible disease. 

Two of the five parts was centered on the medical diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease and the research being done to find a cure or at least medication to slow the disease.  The other three parts were families dealing with Alzheimer's in various stages of the disease. 

From a personal standpoint, the personal stories were very difficult to watch.  As a matter of fact, after I watched the first part, it was more than a week before I could even think of watching the rest.  But I'm glad I did. 

This documentary was excellent.  Whether you have had your own personal experience with the disease or you are just curious about it, this documentary is something you need to see. 

While I'll blog at a later time as to why this documentary meant so much to me, I just want to recommend it to everyone.
