Support me in running and contribute that way to Alzheimer foundation, which supports research on this vicious, still incurable disease.
My grandmother Milena died in January. She was a tough woman. She spent the last year of her life fighting Alzheimer’s, but lost eventually. Unfortunately, we cannot cure this disease yet. We can stand up to it though!
Support me in my attempt to run not one, but two half-marathons (20th of May in Karlovy Vary and 3rd of June in České Budejovice) a you will contribute to the Alzheimer foundation, which supports young doctors researching this disease.
I am no beginner runner, still this will be a great challenge for me! I have respect for that many kilometres. But I will be fuelled by the feeling that my performance will contribute to the relief of people fighting Alzheimer’s in the so far vain battle.
Alzheimer nadační fond
We support professionals caring for patients with Alzheimer's disease. Don't just hope for a miracle cure - help us find it! You can support the research of Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and other neurodegenerative diseases that lead to dementia with a donation today. Even a small amount will help us improve our patients' care. Thank you!
There is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but the sooner we diagnose its onset, the more chance we have of finding better treatment. Present day treatment options only deal with the symptoms of the disease. These medications do not prolong life expectancy, but they can postpone the most severe stages of Alzheimer’s disease and improve the memory, self-sufficiency, and quality of life of patients. 
 
Our goal is to provide support so there are enough quality professionals in the Czech Republic - doctors, caregivers, scientists - to address the growing issue of Alzheimer's disease. 
 
The Alzheimer's Foundation here in the Czech Republic supports experts who engage in research, diagnostics, treatment, and patient care. Thanks to our scholarship programs, young scientists and doctors – neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists and other experts – can take part in internships at renowned foreign institutions and learn new approaches in their fields. Our condition is that they return to Czech Republic and apply their experiences and knowledge in their research here.
 
 We also support Alzheimer’s disease research in our country, including contributing funding for local projects and visiting scientists. Of course we do not forget professional caregivers, advancements in psychotherapy, and other ways of improving the care of patients suffering with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Our foundation's work may not be visible at first sight, but our behind the scenes work is extremely important. We believe that the most important factor is always the people; even the best equipment cannot work without top doctors and caregivers.
