Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's can cause really tough problems for people. Some of the common issues include:

• Memory problems: Forgetting things and having trouble thinking clearly
• Movement issues: Shaking and stiffness
• Emotional changes: Feeling sad or anxious

These challenges can be very upsetting for both the people who are sick and their caregivers. Right now, there aren't many treatments to help, which shows how much we need to learn more and find better ways to treat these diseases.

Putting money into research may help us discover new solutions to make things easier for everyone affected.
