NARFE April
We are happy to announce that registration for the 2021 Alzheimer's Impact Movement (AIM) Advocacy Forum is now open. Held virtually this year, the Advocacy Forum is the nation's premier Alzheimer's advocacy event. We invite all NARFE members to join us on May 19 at 7 p.m. ET to hear from policymakers, Celebrity Champions, Association leadership and more. During the program, we'll honor this year's AIM Humanitarian of the Year congressional awardees, share the latest information on our federal policy priorities, and discuss how our policy victories are making a difference in the lives of people facing Alzheimer's. The generosity of NARFE and its members helps make possible our efforts in the fight to end Alzheimer's. We are so grateful for your support. Register today at alz.com/forum.

Cancer drug shows promise for treating Alzheimer's
The cancer drug sargramostim may improve memory and thinking in people living with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease, according to a small pilot study published in Alzheimer's & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical Interventions. While experts caution the research is preliminary, participants showed a reversal of brain damage associated with Alzheimer's, as well as improved memory and thinking ability. The Alzheimer's Association is supporting the study through the Part the Cloud grant-funding program. Learn more.
