Alzheimer's is a devastating disease. It was painful for me and my family to watch my grandfather deteriorate. We must find a cure for this horrible disease.

Before my mother's diagnosis with Alzheimer's, I had heard of the disease, but hadn't known anyone who had suffered from it.

My mother had early-onset Alzheimer's, and it took her four years to die. She was only 44; I was 14.

You don't just wake up one day with dementia or Alzheimer's; these conditions are developmental. Even when a problem triggers the need to collect data, it's reviewed by a specialist and filed away. There's no central repository allowing information to be shared across a multitude of researchers worldwide.

My mother passed away of complications of dementia. As you get older, it really makes you realize how many people are touched by this disease.

We hope we can slow or possibly reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer's.

I think I'm getting a little bit of Alzheimer's. Just a little.

I think it would be interesting if old people got anti-Alzheimer's disease where they slowly began to recover other people's lost memories.

I know three people who have got better after a brain tumour. I haven't heard of anyone who's got better from Alzheimer's.

I'm in awe of people out there who deal with Alzheimer's, because they have to deal with death 10 times over, year after year.
