PIERCE HELPS FIGHT ALZHEIMER’S
Actor DAVID HYDE PIERCE has teamed up with America’s Alzheimer’s Association’s Champions campaign to fight the disease both his father and grandfather suffer from.
The former Frasier star hopes the campaign will recruit one American for every person suffering from the disease to help raise funds and awareness.
He says, "I think the hardest thing in both cases, with my grandfather and with my dad, were the moments when they understood what was happening to them.
It’s a disease that takes your brain apart, a piece at a time and it doesn’t stop till it kills you.
"All we have to do is find a way to slow it down. We’re not trying to keep people from dying. We’re trying to keep people from dying this way."
