I have always wanted to use my artwork as a vehicle for raising funds for causes that matter...Alzheimer's is especially important to me. My grandmother had Alzheimer's in the 1970's. My whole family shared in the burden of taking care of her. My sister and I spent a lot of time with her while my mom and dad were busy with their careers. She stayed at home for as long as we could keep here there...when she couldn't do the simple things to take care of herself, we had to put her into a nursing home...she struggled for almost 12 years..and without the drugs they have today. Unfortunately, my dad also came down with Alzheimer's at teh age of 82. The disease manifested itself differently and at a different pace than my grandmother because we got him started early on the drug cocktail with Aricept and Nemenda. It scares me...this horrible disease...it scares me for myself and everyone around me. I plan to get involved even more on a national level with this cause to see if i can help at all. --Charles Thanks for your comments David, Jo-Ellen, Erica, and Stacey.

Sadly, I've come from a long line of family members who have been plagued with this disease and I have seen how it has not only darkened the lives of my loved ones, but the lives of everyone around them. In turn, I can only say that the use of your art in promoting this cause is brilliant; both literally and metaphorically. The stunning pieces that you create are a beacon of light. With your use of vibrant colors, multi dimensions, and exciting themes, it is impossible to walk by and not take notice. In which case, I have no doubt that your posters, notecards, and mousepads brought a tremendous amount of attention to and fundraising for the Alzheimer's Association. At the same time, I am certain that your creativity also brought (and will continue to bring) many smiles to the faces of those who have been affected by Alzheimer's. Whether it was a small piece of a picture that brought forth a memory, or the excitement of seeing such an unusual piece of art; your work has brought tremendous light to those who live in darkness. On behalf of everyone who has been affected by Alzheimer's Disease I thank you profusely for all you have done and all that you continue to do. With warmest regards, Erica “Contest Entry”
