Tomorrow, we celebrate Grandparents' Day, a special day to honor all the grandmothers and grandfathers who have made an impact on our lives. But this day can be difficult for many, especially those grandparents who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and those who have lost a grandparent to Alzheimer's or another dementia.
Our grandparents should be with us for all of life's most precious moments. Because of this devastating disease, many grandparents will not be able to experience these moments. Many grandparents will not be at their grandchildren's weddings, graduations or holiday gatherings. They won't be able to pass on their traditions, stories and life lessons to those they love the most.
Today, you have the power to fight back by making your first gift that can double in impact during our Fall Match Challenge.
Your generosity can go twice as far. Generous supporters Don and Nancy Bouc 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.
Advocating in all 50 states to secure access to all U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved Alzheimer's treatments for those who would benefit.

Our 24/7 Helpline answered more than 223,000 calls and online chats, offering support and information to those in need last year.
Provided 10 million touches of care and support last year.
We need you as we help the millions impacted by Alzheimer's and keep our momentum going in the search for a cure.
The generosity of kind-hearted people like you has made a tremendous impact for the over 7 million Americans currently living with Alzheimer's and the nearly 12 million family members and friends providing their unpaid care — many for a grandparent. Alzheimer's won't take a break, so neither can we. We're all at risk — grandparents, mothers, fathers, siblings and future generations. Make a gift that can go twice as far during our Fall Match Challengeby September 12 to help provide care and support resources while being part of the movement for a cure.
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.
