This week's Memorable Monday post celebrates Michela Paradiso's high school senior capstone project—a study detailing Alzheimer's disease and the positive effect a stuffed animal like a Memorable Pet can have on the lives of Alzheimer's patients. Michela's project took 1st place, winning out over more than 400 hundred fellow high school seniors' work.

Michela Paradiso, a high school senior at Upper Arlington High near Columbus Ohio, beats all the competition and takes 1st place on her Capstone projects of Alzheimer’s and Memorable Pets! She has won a nice prize of $750 for all her work and dedication to our cause. I attended one of her Capstone presentations and was very impressed about her knowledge of Alzheimer’s disease and how something as simple as a Memorable Pet can help someone who is suffering. She blew the competition away! Way to go Michela!! She will be attending Ohio State University in the fall and will be playing for their soccer team. Michela wants to become a doctor…maybe in the field of geriatrics? :)
