Fans frequently ask me if there is something they can give Kate Mulgrew to
acknowledge her birthday, send her holiday greetings, or just thank her for the
enjoyment her work has brought them. So with the holidays approaching here's a
suggestion for a gift Kate will truly appreciate.
As most of you are aware, Kate has become a champion for public education and
research related to Alzheimer's prevention and cure. Kate is involved in
Alzheimer's prevention research being performed by Dr. Karen Hsiao Ashe at The
N. Bud Grossman Center for Memory Research & Care at the University of
Minnesota. In fact she recently delivered the keynote speech at the Minnesota
Medical Foundation's Annual dinner.

Kate feels passionately about this organization and Dr. Ashe's research and
hopes a cure, through prevention, can soon be found for Alzheimer's. But as she
made clear in her recent opinion piece published on CNN.com, funds need to be
raised for this research.

The Minnesota Medical Foundation has added an option to their website whereby
donations can be made in honor of Kate and she will be notified of these gifts
by the MMF. You may also include a short personalized note to Kate with each
donation.
Kate's fans have always been generous as well as passionate, and she is
delighted to know that this project has been initiated. Any and all donations
will be greatly appreciated and will help University of Minnesota researchers
discover ways to eliminate the suffering Alzheimer's disease causes individuals
and their families.
To make a donation to the Alzheimer's Disease Research Fund at MMF in honor of
Kate please go to:
