I have just got involved, My Judy is in the last stages of Alzheimers. I have posted this address on the Alzheimer's board I belong to. I hope the other Care`Givers will follow and lend a hand. If there is any Care~Givers, that feel they need help, the group that I belong to will accept, council, a and be there in your time of need. The Address of the board is as follows.

I hope this did not break any policy, but it is important for the Care~Givers not to feel alone.

Welcome aboard, Brad.

You'll find there's a lot of good people here, including the Baker Lab team themselves.

Just so she knows we all care about her, give Judy a hug from me, thanks.

Welcome aboard Brad. Sorry to hear about your wife. I have a rather indirect relation that passed away about 2 years ago after suffering with the disease for several years.

I hope your post will be a good reference for some of the others at Rosetta that are dealing with a similar situation. And thanks for posting there about Rosetta. The goals of the project are very long term unfortunately, but crunching Rosetta gives you SOMEthing tangeble you can do to kinda fight back.

Brad,

Welcome to the project from the Rosetta@home (R@H) team. We appreciate your donation of computing resources - we'll put them to good use.

As a brief note, I think there's a typo in your URL as listed. I believe the correct URL is http://alzheimers.proboards32.com

I want to make sure that folks end up in the proper place.

P.S. Having helped my mother w/ caregiving for my father (stroke, not Alzheimer's), I think we should do what we can to support those that do so much for others.

Thank you for that link Brad.

I was my grandma's caregiver last year and will be again in a few months time.

Please send Judy and your whole family my hugs, thoughts, and prayers.

I think many of us are motivated to help Rosetta because of people close to us that suffer in some way. That's true in my case and judging by so many postings people desire to 'fight back' as someone else posted above. I hope your link to the Rosetta site stays prevalent on your other site there so as to encourage others to help with their computer time.

Welcome aboard.
