Saturday May 18 2024 For the rest of her life Carol Jennings kept a copy of the letter she sent, the most important letter in dementia research. It is June 2023. I am sitting beside her in her front room. Facing a mantelpiece of photographs that chronicle the 40 years of life that came after the letter, I unfold and read it. "I was very interested to read of your research in the Alzheimer's Disease Society News and think my family could be of use," it begins, written in the careful, neat handwriting of a teacher. Her father, Walter, then 63, had Alzheimer's, she told the scientists. So did his younger sister, Audrey. "His brother Arthur also may have the disease," she speculated and would later be proved correct.
