I just can't see buying any stamps other than the Alzheimer's semi-postal fund raising stamps.
Why were these stamps unveiled at Johns Hopkins? Are they the leading research center for Alzheimer's?
Thank you for sharing. The #Alzheimers Disease Research Semipostal Stamp raises both awareness AND funds for critical research! As of the end of September, more than 11 million Alzheimer’s stamps have been sold, raising $1.5+ million. 100 percent of the net amount raised goes directly to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support research and medical discoveries to advance care and cure. You can purchase stamps online at The Postal Store®: store.usps.com/store/product/buy-stamps/alzheimers-S_564204.

Wow! Very cool. 😊 Sky Wheel in Myrtle Beach.👍
Beautiful!
These photos are gorgeous. So glad it also helps to bring awareness to a terrible illness.
The ones alongside the water look the best because of the reflection.
