SENATOR ED MARKEY ON APRIL 11, 2013 introduced a bill for an Alzheimer's Postage stamp to be sold in the same way as the Breast Cancer Stamp.  Please send him an email saying you support this if you do or write him at 975 JFK Federal Building, 15 New Sudbury Street, Boston, Mass. 02203.  5.4 million people have this disease today with over 10 million caregivers.  Every 69 seconds l in 6 women, 1 in 11 men are diagnosed with Alzheimer's.  The Cure Alz. Fund has sponsored a Dr. Tanzi at Harvard/Mass. General for 10 years and he just created Alz. in a petrie dish which is as huge a breakthrough as the Salk polio vaccine.  There is so much to do and if you write for this stamp, it will help.

The Bill no. is HR1508.  You also can call your Senator or Congress rep at 202 224 3121.  The email form is on Senator Markey's web site.  Very easy.
