Roth's parents' condition have awakened him to the crisis of this disease for countless others, particularly with 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every day. Statistics show that over 320,000 New Yorkers are struggling with the disease and at least 320,000 more have the heavy burden of caring for a family member.But this is not simply a local story. An estimated 5.6 million Americans are currently diagnosed, and Alzheimer's is now the sixth leading cause of death. And of the 10 leading causes of death, it is the only one without any cure or treatment.

More importantly, this disease is not limited to just the elderly, as more cases of early onset are diagnosed every day.
