Alzheimer's research has received a huge boost as one of Canada's iconic brands Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee has donated $1 million to the Alzheimer Society of Canada.

The donation represents the single largest contribution to the Alzheimer Society Research Program (ASRP), a peer-reviewed grant and awards program that supports Canada’s top talent in bio-medical and quality-of-life research to find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease and improve daily life for those affected.
