Bravo Julianne Moore! #alzheimers’ speech

Christoph Fischer's avatarwriterchristophfischer

images (11)I’m very happy that Julianne Moore won her Oscar. It was long overdue.

I’m also happy that, in her acceptance speech, she mentioned that it is important that Alzheimer’s patients are being seen and given a voice.

imagesAvoiding the issue and pretending that it isn’t happening prevents early diagnosis and vital early treatment. Talking about the disease more openly will help raise wider awareness and hopefully result in increased research funding. It will also help the patients and their families to show them that they are not alone.
All these points were made by Julianne – what a gracious gesture during her moment of glory.

Money needs to go into research to tackle the illness that affects an ever growing number of people. And for that we need 1said awareness  so that politicians and financers pick up on the subject. Films and media can help to do that.
