Donating yet today will support Alzheimer's research right here in Minnesota

That's right - the CAD Foundation is the only funding source of The Alzheimer's Legacy Lab at the University of Minnesota!

Different from other labs, The Alzheimer's Legacy Lab is privately funded - by a nonprofit.

This is a leading reason why the Alzheimer's Legacy Lab is able to get the best talent and progress faster than what happens with labs that rely on the traditional mode of funding: the government.

Proof positive: The UMN lab is already to animal model study in 10 short months!

The CAD Foundation does so much to ensure this work is successful:

we have promised to fund the work until it is done - that's never been done before!
our foundation covers all administrative costs - so every dollar donated to us is used for the work, not rent
We allow the researchers to pivot and follow where the path of discovery takes them - that's never been done before
And the research we fund connects the medical school, the dental school, the veterinarian school plus multiple other labs within the vast UMN system - ABSOLUTELY NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE!

World-renowned neuroscientist Dr. Liam Chen MD PhD (pictured above center), and his dedicated research team run The Alzheimer's Legacy Lab at the UMN. Their focus is "The Infectious/Microbial Hypothesis" of Alzheimer's - which theorizes that Alzheimer's is actually caused by infection, very likely from Periodontal (Gum) disease. This long-standing hypothesis actually originated in Alois Alzheimer's day. And in the last few years IS CONSIDERED THE TOP EMERGING THEORY AS TO THE CAUSE OF ALZHEIMER'S!

FACT: over 80% of patients with Alzheimer's Disease have Periodontal Disease. FACT: oral bacteria that causes gum disease is consistently found at autopsy in brains of Alzheimer's patients. FACT: nearly 50% of people over 30 have gum disease. And that percentage increases as we age. FACT: The co-founder of this organization - a dentist - actually reversed Alzheimer's symptoms and preserved his brain by treating himself with medications that treat Periodontal Disease. FACT: The current belief that Beta Amyloid is "bad" is now known to be incorrect. FACT: the Beta-Amyloid protein is actually antimicrobial (kills infection) ... meaning that, the very existence of Beta Amyloid in the brain signals that an infection is / has been present in the brain.

By the CAD's funding of The Alzheimer's Legacy Lab, Dr. Chen and his colleagues are able to uncover how a bacteria from the mouth (or other parts of our own body such as the sinus, stomach, or gut) is getting into the brain. And from there, they intend to determine how this causes so much destruction. The work we are funding will advance the world's understanding of the most complex, and until now - illusive disease...and this ground breaking work is taking place right here in Minnesota!

My mission is to cure this disease. And I hope you can join me by supporting our public charity in raising the money needed to fund Alzheimer's research here in Minnesota

Your fully tax-deductible donation can help make this happen - so please donation today!

😀Where does your donation go?

The Alzheimer's Legacy Lab! Every quarter in 2025, the CAD Foundation pays the UMN $37,500 just to support the research. That's why our goal during GIVE TO THE MAX is what we will actually be paying them in a few short days. Help us make good on our promise to keep this work moving forward! WE NEED YOUR HELP!!

Where it's needed most? The CAD Foundation does not pay any of our officers. And all operational expenses are paid by its executive board members. You pick this, and every penny you donate (outside the transaction fees) will go help take the burden off our family so we can focus even more of our energies on Curing Alzheimer's and helping others prevent it.

Thanks, and God Bless You for supporting our nonprofit mission to bring an end to Alzheimer's Disease!
