Alzheimers.
 
My WW2 Army Air Corp pilot Grandfather died of Alzheimer's disease around ten years ago. I was early twenties at the time and I was glad to have so much time with him. I was surprised at how old he was given the condition he was in. The last time I had a meaningful talk with him I was 19; the conversation was heartfelt though it seemed to repeat every 45 to 60 seconds. A little over two years later was the last time I saw him alive. I went to the "home" he was in with just my Grandmother (which is amazing because i have an enormous family). He was so long gone that he would forget to chew his food with food in his mouth. Somehow the look in his eyes showed me that he was happy to see his sweetheart and he still remembered her.
 
Alternatively I recognize that my family is likely to carry the same genetics. I guess I'm doing it for all of them plus me.

I just wanted to give a shout-out to thank Jason who runs the Extreme Overclocking  site that likely most of us folding this month have been looking at a lot.
 
Jason has also helped us this month by providing a customized query we’ve been using for collecting some of the statistics.
 
Jason has been running the site for over 10 years and maintains the site through advertising which provides barely enough revenue to cover his hosting fees. He relies on donations for hardware upgrades for his server and has a paypal button on his stats pages.
 
I’ve just sent him $20 to say thanks for the help he’s provided and the excellent work he does and I hope some of you fellow folders will also consider contributing what you can to help Jason keep the site up and running.
 
Keep on Folding!

TFW you joined the team and missed the signup link. SMH. Its for a good cause regardless.

Yeah, my great grandfather passed from Alzheimer's as well. A noble cause to fold for.
 
Heh. Thanks I'll take that compliment!
 
Good luck
