This is such a great idea! Hats off to Max for "putting the pieces together" and having the compassion to devote enough energy to this so that it rose above a passing gesture into a cause that benefits so many people, both the Alzheimers patients and their caregivers. Wonderful! This is the sort of individual who'll make the world a better place with everything he does. Thank you!!!
