To get the message across, the newspaper investigated its oldest subscribers and the story of Dora Espinoza was chosen. She is in the early stages of the disease and reading is one of the main tools to slow its progress and keep her memory active. Thus, the newspaper launched an investigation of Dora's life and together with a team of journalists from the newspaper they produced a special personalized cover every day for a month, where every morning she received stories of her own life gathering memories from her own and her relatives and friends.

Encouraging and maintaining the habit of reading helps to preserve the activity and cognitive functions of people with alzheimer's. Based on this solid conclusion from the ACE Foundation - Barcelona Alzheimer Treatment & Research Center, El universo -the largest newspaper in Ecuador- and Paradais DDB jointly developed an action to promote reading, within the framework of World Alzheimer's Day this 21st of September.
