Fall $200,000 Match Challenge
[link removed]
Dear Friend,
The number of Americans who are living
with Alzheimer's disease is growing fast. Over 6 million people in the
United States are living with this devastating disease, and that
number is expected to double by 2050.
What's even more alarming? The number
of deaths from Alzheimer's is growing, too. Here are the shocking
facts:
* Deaths from Alzheimer's disease increased 145% between 2000 and
2019.
* 1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another form of
dementia.
* Alzheimer's kills more people than breast cancer and prostate
cancer combined.
Lives are at stake. Right now, you can
help tackle this national public health crisis and have twice the
impact during our Fall $200,000 Match Challenge. I know I can count on
you, friend.

YES, COUNT ME IN

The interest you've shown tells me you
believe in our work. We need kind people like you to help us further
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.
That's why I'm hoping you'll choose
today to make your first gift - while your support can go TWICE
as far.

We're lucky to have the support of
Dick and Marianne Kipper, two members of our Zenith Society. They've
generously pledged to match every donation we receive by October 31
- up to a total of $200,000. Their donation will advance
important Alzheimer's research. Your first gift today can go TWICE as
far to accelerate research and to help provide care and support to
those who need it.

Here's the challenge: We must raise
the same amount - $200,000 - by the deadline to unlock
these matching funds.
If we can meet our goal, your first
gift today can be matched to go 2X as far. That means you'll help
provide care and support for those facing Alzheimer's and accelerate
global research - with double the impact.
Your first gift can go 2X as far
during this incredible match.
$16 can become $32.

$30 can become $60.

Friend, I know
the statistics can be scary. Especially if someone you love is living
with the effects of this cruel disease. But hope exists in the form of
promising new research and treatments.
In July, the Food and Drug
Administration approved Leqembi® for the treatment of early
Alzheimer's. By slowing progression of the disease when taken in the
early stages, this new drug can give individuals more time to
participate in daily life and live independently.
It's not a cure, and it's not for
everyone, but this treatment gives people living with early
Alzheimer's what they want most: more time. More time with their
families. More time doing the things they love. More time living on
their own terms.
Your generous support makes this kind
of progress possible. But there is still work to be done. We need to
keep fighting until everyone at every stage of the disease has access
to the treatments and care and support they need. Please don't stop
now - not when your first gift can go TWICE as far to help even
more.

Your support today can help in
so many ways, including:
Offering support for more than
11 million caregivers - many of whom are family members.
Investing in important
Alzheimer's research to find new treatments and, one day, a cure.
Providing Alzheimer's support
all day, every day, through our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900).
Advocating for policies that
increase federal funding for Alzheimer's research.
MAKE 2X THE IMPACT WITH YOUR FIRST GIFT

Every day, researchers around the
