tiffany china that you get to keep and a full day access to a mas mazerotti. americans worry about getting alzheimer's almost as much as they do about getting cancer. that finding which says the fear of alzheimer's far outweighs the concerns of cancer or heart disease. one bay area man who watched alzheimer's ravage his family decided to do whatever he could to fight it. grace lee shows us, he found a scientist doing promising research and put his money where his mouth is. >> vibrant, focused and driven, that's how douglas remembers his father, claude. two years ago, his father died from alzheimer's disease. since then, douglas lost his stepmother and his stepfather to the same illness. >> there are a lot of terrible

diseases. this happens to be, i think, one of the worst. >> so douglas went on a mission to find a new approach in treating alzheimer's. he found it at the buck institute for research on aging in nevada. he was so impressed, he decided to donate money, a significant chunk, $3.5 million. >> if we want to address and find a cure for diseases like alzheimer's, we have to think outside the box. >> you think that's what dale is doing? >> i know that's what he is doing. >> a neurologist who studied alzheimer's for three decades. right now is an exciting time for his work. >> i've never been so enthusiastic. i've never felt as i have recently that we are actually at the point where we have a new insight. >> the doctor says most alzheimer's treatments know cues on the aftermath when the
