An evening in Monte-Carlo began at the Hilton & Towers in Chicago
and highlighted the beautiful daughter of Rita Hayworth, Princess
Yasmin Aga Kahn.  The ambiance was festive and a Hollywood
scene filled the Grand Ballroom.  It was Opulence!

The mood was festive, however, the purpose was a staunch
underlying factor.  The President and Chairman of this years
Alzheimers Gala was Harry Johns-his committee was comprised of
entergenic  volunteers that helped shaped the outcome of this
memorable evening.

Family stories of Alzheimers disease filled our minds and eyes as
we sat by seemingly helpless, praying that strength would fill all
these hearts afflicted for support  to carry on.

Alzheimer’s disease is a brain disorder named for German physician
Alois Alzheimer, who first described it in 1906. Scientists have
learned a great deal about Alzheimer’s disease in the century since
Dr. Alzheimer first drew attention to it. Today we know that Alzheimers:

Is a progressive and fatal brain disease. As many as 5.3 million
Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer's destroys
brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking and behavior
severe enough to affect work, lifelong hobbies or social life.
Alzheimer’s gets worse over time, and it is fatal. Today it is the
seventh-leading cause of death in the United States.


Is the most common form of dementia, a general term for the loss of
memory and other intellectual abilities serious enough to interfere
with daily life. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for 50 to 70 percent of
dementia cases. Other types of dementia include vascular dementia,
mixed dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies and frontotemporal
dementia.

Has no current cure. But treatments for symptoms, combined with the
right services and support, can make life better for the millions of
Americans living with Alzheimer’s. There is an accelerating
worldwide effort under way to find better ways to treat the disease,
delay its onset, or prevent it from developing.
