I remember when I first read about Max Wallack. He had just won a Build-A-Bear Huggable Hero award and $2500. Care to guess what Max did with his new found 2500 bucks?...

Bought a new IPod? Put it in the bank for college?
This really caught my attention. So I decided to Google his name. Next, I decided to write an article about him and publish it to the Alzheimer's Reading Room. Then I waited.
I did not have to wait long. Within 48 hours he emailed me a note of thanks.
I asked Max if he could write about his experience with his great grandmother. He agreed to do so. This is how it all started here.
During 2010, Max wrote about 50 articles for the Alzheimer's Reading Room. He wrote about films, science, and he wrote about his experience with his Great Grams who suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
Max wrote about the plaid pajama's, the checkbook, Everything Costs One Dollar, Alzheimer's life, traveling with Great Grams, and my personal favorite which I call the Great Escape
You can see and listen to Max in this short two minute video.
