12/9/2019 The Alzheimer’s stamp has officially ended circulation after two years as a semi-postal stamp.
In those two years, at least 7.7 million stamps were sold, raising $1 million for Alzheimer’s disease research.
But for the woman behind the stamp, $1 million is not enough. Kathy Siggins, who lives near Mount Airy, wants all the stamps printed to be sold. And she is turning to local congressmen to help her in her new quest.
One of the challenges with the stamp is that not everyone knows it exists, she said. And while the stamp served as a way to fundraise for disease research, it also gave families a way to honor loved ones.
