FUND-A-NEED – NOTES –

Your generosity to this year’s Fund-A-Need will support
the multi-faceted approach in which the University
excels and that Alzheimer’s requires. Specifically you
will help fund:
• A multi-disciplinary team that partners with
caregivers, like Brian, to give them the education,
support, and care they need as Alzheimer’s
complications ravage their loved ones;
• A first-of-its-kind mobile app to help people reduce
their risk of getting the disease;
• Pilot studies to better understand how the disease
forms, and better diagnose and treat it;

• A tissue bank that is linked to imaging and clinical
testing data to move dementia research from the
lab to the clinic to help patients;

• State-of-the-art equipment and software to
increase the speed of research analyses; and
• A pilot project in medical procedure safety for the
aging brain.

Raise your paddle high tonight to help patients and
families, like the Nortons and so many others, in
Rochester and across the country.
