What if… QPR had stopped Liverpool’s era of European domination before it even began?

What is Alzheimer's?
The disease, named after Alois Alzheimer, the doctor who first described it in medical literature, affects the brain.A hallmark of the disease is the build-up of amyloid beta proteins, which causes plaques.The plaques then result in the loss of connections between nerve cells in the brain – and ultimately the death of those cells and a loss of brain tissue.Those with Alzheimers also have a shortage of key chemicals in the brain, which help transmit messages.A lack of these chemicals means the brain is unable to process certain messages how it would have previously.To learn more about the disease, including the signs and symptoms are see here.In addition, the Bowles family have set up a GoFundMe page.![Celtic secured their eighth consecutive title last week](https://talksport.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2019/05/GettyImages-1143173158.jpg?strip=all&w=960&quality=100)
