"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

A team of researchers at Stanford University and several other institutions believe they’ve discovered a simple blood test for detecting the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, long before its victims are robbed of their memory and personality.

The test – which spots Alzheimer’s by detecting unusual activity in proteins associated with the disease – was determined to be 90 percent correct in diagnosing the malady and 91 percent accurate in predicting who will be afflicted by it, according to a study published Sunday in the journal Nature Medicine.
