I have plans to keep my eyes out for more conferences in the future. I am going to attend a support group. I want to read and learn more about clinical trials which may affect me.

 

I want to continue my advocacy for further fund allocation for Alzheimer's and dementia research. I want to encourage our Congress and our President to help those suffering. I have plans to research those individuals who are running for an elected office - to see which, if any, have included Alzheimer's/dementia topics in their political platform.

 

I have plans to write to these hopefuls to encourage their inclusion of this topic. I have plans to vote for those who show a true interest in these ailments. I plan on attending the Alzheimer's Walk next year, maybe even start a team of my own. I have plans to find and stay in touch with people who are being touched by this disease.

 

I have plans. That means I have a future. I have vascular dementia and, yet, I have a future! I am so excited!
