“SanDisk as a company is dedicated to preserving digital memories, so it’s appropriate for us to do what we can to help stop a disease that attacks human memory,” said Greg Rhine, senior vice president and general manager of the Consumer Products Division at SanDisk. “Alzheimer’s is a terrible disease – it is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States and, according to surveys, nearly half of all Americans know someone who has Alzheimer’s. We are pleased to support the important work of The Alzheimer’s Association.”]]>Sep 14th 2007 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/sandisk-to-benefit-alzheimers-association-with-purple-flash-sto/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/sandisk-to-benefit-alzheimers-association-with-purple-flash-sto/Sep 13th 2007 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/sandisk-to-benefit-alzheimers-association-with-purple-flash-sto/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/sandisk-to-benefit-alzheimers-association-with-purple-flash-sto/Sep 13th 2007 2:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/sandisk-to-benefit-alzheimers-association-with-purple-flash-sto/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/13/sandisk-to-benefit-alzheimers-association-with-purple-flash-sto/
