The Memory Tree Competitors

Hope Happens' mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals with Neurological Disorders by inspiring collaborative research to find treatments leading to cures, providing HOPE to everyone afflicted with or connected to a Neurological Disease. Chris Hobler founded ALS Hope which became Hope Happens in the fall of 2004. Among Hope Happens' accomplishments is the founding of the Hope Center for Neurological Disorders (hopecenter.wustl.edu), a collaboration with the Washington University Medical School in St. Louis, MO.

Keeping Memories is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to funding the discovery of advanced treatment methods for Alzheimer's Disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. The organization is promoting awareness of the benefits of brain fitness, and finding new solutions to improve memory, prevent dementia and improve overall cognitive function.

Our mission is to connect as a community, to grow the conversation about this disease, to come together as one united front raising awareness and providing support... We want you to know that whether you are someone who has been diagnosed, are a care partner or know someone whose life has been impacted by this disease, or any other type of dementiayou are not alone on this journey. We are Baby Boomers whose lives have been changed by Early Memory Loss and we invite you to make yourselves known to us and share your stories. We want Alzheimers and other forms of dementia to be discussed openly, without shame or embarrassment. Education and understanding are crucial. The funds for research must be increased to help to find a cure. 10% of all donations raised by Alz Across America will go directly to the Alzheimer's Association. For instance, did you know that 50 years ago they used to think that cancer was contagious? Now, there are cures for many types of cancer and there is hope.
