Walk To End Alzheimer's

Two years ago, I lost my grandfather to Alzheimer's/Dementia. It was awful seeing him deteriorate and I feel for anyone who has to watch a loved one go through this awful disease. When I came home from his funeral, I turned on the TV and there was a commercial for the Walk to End Alzheimer's and I knew it was a sign. I formed our team, The Dirty Martinis (my grandfather's favorite drink) and started fundraising. Last year we raised over $5,000. This year we did just over $1,000, but I'm still proud and I know Grandpa Harry would be too.

    I learned yesterday that the MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) which are found abundantly in coconut oil help fight Alzheimers disease in one single dosage. I'm not saying it cures the disease - just that it is a step in the direction of reducing the horrible affects of it.

    Here's reference on wikipedia (under "Medical Uses"): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-chain_triglyceride

    Maybe you can write a blog about this to help spread the word? :-)
