But that's the number of people living right now with Alzheimer's disease or another dementia around the world. It's that number that keeps us dedicated to the crucial work at the Alzheimer's Association — to fuel vital research around the globe and provide the care and support needed so urgently by those affected and their loved ones.
Since we announced our World Alzheimer's Day 2X Match Challenge, we've heard from committed people from across the country who want to stand with us in the fight to end this devastating disease. We are so grateful. It's critical that we hear from you, too, before our September 21 midnight deadline.
The brain changes that cause Alzheimer's symptoms are thought to begin ____ years before symptoms start.
Alzheimer's is deadly. Every year, it takes more lives than breast and prostate cancer combined. That's why it's so important to stand with us as we accelerate research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure — because time is running out. I know you care about our work, and I hope we can count on you to join us with a gift today.
Please don't wait — this match ends at midnight on September 21. Generous supporter Leone McKay has pledged to match every donation we receive — up to a total of $150,000 — if we can raise that same amount. Her pledge is made in honor of her late husband, Col. William P. McKay, whom she lost to Alzheimer's disease, and will support vital research.
Our supporters are vital to our progress in research and success in providing care and support to those affected. It's this vital support that has enabled landmark studies like U.S. POINTER, whose results underscore the message that healthy behavior has a powerful impact on brain health.
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.
