Alzheimer, regrettably, is a well-known disease. Charities and organisations all over the world want to educate people on what it is, how to identify it and ways we can support both the individuals affected and their families.

Enter World Alzheimer’s Day. Annually on the 21 September volunteers and companies around the world host events to raise awareness of the disease and raise money for charities.

Stem cells. We hear about them all the time. Seems like there is always something new about stem cells and how truly amazing they can be, and this blog is here to prove it.
