My story
We are fundraising in memory of our darling Top Dog Miss Fifi B! She lived a remarkable, full, exciting & joyful life. She was formidable & faced challenges, such as pioneering open heart surgery as a child & sadly a battle with dementia in her latter years. She was always a fighter though & she would love for you to join the fight too...the ABATE study is testing a vaccine for Alzheimer's disease in people with Down syndrome. This is being supported by donations raised by the Downs Syndrome Association, so we would love your help to raise as much money as we can for this incredible cause!
90% of people with Down Syndrome will develop Alzheimer's yet this population has never been included in clinical research. The vaccine is designed to stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against a build up of the protein "Abeta" in the brain.
Reducing the build up of this protein, may slow memory loss seen in Alzheimer's disease.
Thank you for checking out my page. Making a donation is fast, easy and secure thanks to Give as you Live Donate. They'll take your donation and pass it onto Down's Syndrome Association.
