Hi there! 

 

As part of the Memory Cycle, we will be raising vital funds for research on Alzheimer’s disease at NeuRA.

 

We are physically & mentally challenging ourselves by cycling from Vietnam to Cambodia in memory of John Purcell, Nell Purcell & Dorothy Dossor. All of these wonderful people struggled with Alzheimer's at the end of their lives. This is also in memory of recently departed, Felicity Dossor who suffered from a closely related disease, fronto-temporal dementia. They are all greatly missed.

 

For the last five years, NeuRA researchers have been part of this international study aimed at developing an early-detection test for Alzheimer’s disease. We need to understand how Alzheimer’s disease affects the body and the brain before obvious outward symptoms present, so we can prevent them.

 

Alzheimer’s is a vicious disease that takes away your memory and independence. Every dollar you raise will go towards preventing or slowing the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. Anything from the price of a cup of coffee will make a difference to help us fight for future generations & sufferers of Alzheimer's. The sky's the limit!

 

These breakthroughs are only made possible with the support of people just like you.

 

Thank you for your supporting us in this challenge.

 

Jacqueline & Ruth Dossor
