Alzheimer's disease is a brain disorder. It is the most common form of dementia, and this terminal, progressive brain disorder has no known cause or cure. Vascular dementia, another common type of dementia, is caused by reduced blood flow to parts of the brain.

In mixed dementia, Alzheimer's and vascular dementia occur together. Alzheimer's destroys brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking and behavior severe enough to affect work, lifelong hobbies or social life. Alzheimer's gets worse over time. Alzheimer's Disease Research (ADR), a program of the American Health Assistance Foundation, seeks to avert this tidal wave by funding research to find a cure. As many as 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease! What a huge number.
