The spouses work. Even the grandkids work handing out bags.\u201d\n\u201cFor us it helps. I like to hope we\u2019re helping other people and making a difference.\u201d It\u2019s estimated that every 65 seconds another person learns they have the terminal condition which robs them of their identities. While the disease keeps growing \u2013 now registering as the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States \u2013 the support for the Santa Market Craft Show benefiting Alzheimer\u2019s research is booming.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
