Make this a summer of hope for families impacted by Alzheimer's.

Dear Friend, Alzheimer's disease is alarming. 1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another dementia. It kills more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. But behind the statistics are mothers, fathers, friends and neighbors. They are people we care about, and they are counting on us to keep working until we find a cure for this cruel disease. Thanks for caring so much about our work together. Please support our 2023 Summer Annual Fund Drive before July 31 and make a difference that will last through the summer and all year long. Alzheimer's Association Supporter Joined: 2023 Early detection can mean more time with your loved ones. That's especially important, as treatments which slow progression of the disease in people living with early Alzheimer's receive Food and Drug Administration approval. Getting an early diagnosis may extend health and quality of life. As a member of the 2022-2023 Alzheimer's Association National Early-Stage Advisory Group, Tony Gonzales wants to educate others about the importance of early detection and diagnosis, so we all have the opportunity to savor every day. "My diagnosis has given me a new love for life and a chance to reevaluate what's really important. I give more hugs now, say 'I love you' to more people and appreciate every moment," he says. His wife, Kori, agrees that research, education and early diagnosis are crucial. "That is why we have to fight for new treatments and, ultimately, a cure," she says. "We are trying to save the lives of our kids and grandchild." They're optimistic about progress being made through research and new therapies that treat people living with early Alzheimer's. But that will only happen if people know the signs, see their doctors and have full access to treatment. Please help advance education and outreach, drive research and provide crucial care and support, with your first gift to our 2023 Summer Annual Fund Drive now. For Tony and Kori and for people we love, we have to keep fighting. Throughout the summer and every day, you will help advance our mission to lead the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support. Friend, your first gift to our 2023 Summer Annual Fund Drive will help ensure we can: Provide free resources to the millions of Americans affected by Alzheimer's, from our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900) to our website at alz.org to our education programs and support groups. Lead the global effort to eliminate Alzheimer's by bringing researchers together to accelerate the pace of discovery toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure. Advocate unrelentingly for the rights of the Alzheimer's and dementia community, as well as for the research funding that will change the trajectory of this disease. Thanks to you, we're active in communities across the country, providing support and education and making sure the voices of those with Alzheimer's are heard. Voices like Tony and Kori's. And voices from your community. Alzheimer's hits close to home and the number of people living with the disease grows each year. That means every day even more people will reach out to us for care and support. We must answer the call together and do all we can to help. Thanks for doing your part this summer to help provide vital care and support and advance research all year long with your first gift now. With gratitude, Donna McCullough Chief Mission and Field Operations Officer P.S. Our 2023 Summer Annual Fund Drive ends on July 31, and that's just about one week away.
