Every Independence Day, we pause to honor the heroes who gave everything. Some of their names are lost to history – but their bravery is not.

This past July 4th, Home Helpers® Home Care CEO & President Emma Dickison had the extraordinary honor of laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, with proud U.S. Veteran and Home Helpers® Home Care franchisee, David Conolly, who serves the Tri-Cities, VA community.

This moment held deep personal meaning for Emma, whose father bravely served during WWII with the 83rd Army "Thunderbolt" Infantry Division. He came home. So many others did not.

At Home Helpers®, we proudly stand beside our nation’s heroes—Veterans who continue their legacy of service as franchisees and Caregivers, delivering exceptional care in communities across the country. We’re also deeply honored to care for those who once served. Their stories inspire us every day, and we take great pride in Taking Care of the Greatest Generation … Yours.®💙

Today and every day, we remember. We honor. And we give thanks.

Researchers from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and the University of São Paulo discovered that a brain protein called hevin, secreted by support cells known as astrocytes, can reverse memory decline in mice without removing the hallmark beta-amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer’s.

Hevin plays a key role in synaptic plasticity, helping neurons form and maintain strong connections. When scientists boosted hevin production in the hippocampus, the brain’s memory center, aged mice and Alzheimer’s-model mice showed significant improvements in learning and recall, even though the plaques remained unchanged. This suggests that cognitive decline may stem more from synaptic dysfunction than plaque buildup alone.

The study also found that hevin influenced dozens of proteins involved in neural communication, and confocal imaging confirmed stronger, more mature synapses in treated mice. While this research is still in early stages and limited to animal models, it opens the door to astrocyte-targeted therapies that could restore memory without needing to clear plaques.

Alzheimer’s may actually be caused by a misfiring immune system — not toxic brain plaques.

This discovery marks a major shift in understanding the disease.

A new theory is reshaping our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease, long thought to be caused by the buildup of toxic beta-amyloid plaques in the brain.

Researchers now propose that Alzheimer’s may actually be an autoimmune disease—an immune system malfunction where the body mistakenly attacks itself. According to this model, beta-amyloid isn’t a harmful anomaly but a natural part of the brain’s defense system. It’s designed to protect against threats like infection. However, due to its inability to distinguish between microbial invaders and the brain’s own cells, it may accidentally launch attacks that lead to chronic brain damage and dementia.

This autoimmune theory, backed by three decades of research, could dramatically shift the focus of Alzheimer’s treatment. Instead of aiming solely to remove beta-amyloid, future therapies might target the immune system’s regulation within the brain. This opens the door to innovative treatment strategies and renewed hope for patients and caregivers alike. As autoimmune diseases like lupus and multiple sclerosis have shown, managing immune responses can change lives—suggesting that a similar approach for Alzheimer’s could lead to more effective and lasting results.

Sandy Wolfe, the 2022-2025 Alpha Delta Kappa Foundation Chairman, recently organized a heartwarming fundraiser for the Alzheimer's Association. Sandy's friend made a beautiful lap quilt🧵 and tote bag called "Always in My Heart" to honor those who passed away from Alzheimer's. Sandy sold raffle tickets for the quilt and tote at a recent Alpha Delta Kappa convention. Out of 150 available raffle tickets available, Sandy sold an incredible 146 tickets, raising $1300 (and counting) for the Alzheimer's Association! 💜 She will continue to sell additional raffle tickets until the drawing on The Longest Day, June 20th.

Sandy shared, "I was just stunned at the response." It's through creative fundraisers like this that Alpha Delta Kappa, a The Longest Day Gold National Team, will reach their $250K goal for 2025.

Sandy's friend was thrilled to hear about the excitement her quilt generated, saying it was the most any of her quilts had ever raised!

Thank you to our National Teams, like Alpha Delta Kappa International, who generously give their time, talents and financial resources to help !
