I'm excited to announce that today is the first day of our Fall Match Challenge. This incredible match comes at a critical time in our fight, but it won't last for long. Right now, there are over 7 million Americans living with Alzheimer's disease and nearly 12 million caregivers who are counting on us as they navigate the difficulties and uncertainty of this cruel disease. We're counting on you now more than ever to help provide them with care and support resources, as well as to accelerate research toward a cure.
This match is possible thanks to generous supporters Don and Nancy Bouc, who have pledged to match all gifts — up to a total of $100,000 — if we can raise the same amount by September 12. Their gift is made in honor of Nancy, who is currently living with Alzheimer's, and will go toward care and support resources at their local chapter.
Alzheimer's isn't slowing down. More people are being diagnosed each day, and it's critical that we continue to fight back even harder. We need YOU to help provide them with care and support, as well as fuel promising research efforts toward new treatments and, one day, a cure.
Our supporters bring us to a historic time in the search for a cure. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved treatments that target the underlying biology of the disease, giving us all a reason to hope. While there's currently no cure, these treatments may change the progression of the disease and give those living with early Alzheimer's more time to plan for the future, to live independently and to spend more time with family and friends.
Your donation will strengthen our efforts to advance Alzheimer's care, support and research. From face-to-face support to online education programs and promising global research initiatives, your gift makes a difference in the lives of all those affected by Alzheimer's and other dementias in your community and across the world. Thank you for your continued support.
