Dear Friend,
Time is running out on our special Holiday 3X Match. Because I have so much appreciation for your passion for our cause, I wanted to reach out before this triple-match opportunity ends. As you prepare for the holiday season, I'm hoping you'll help make the most of this opportunity, while your first gift can have TRIPLE the impact on the fight to end Alzheimer's.
In the true spirit of the season, the JTMF Foundation has stepped forward with a truly amazing but time-sensitive offer and has pledged to match any gift you can make — up to a total of $250,000 — to support local care and support programs and expand our reach to families in rural communities. This offer, made in honor of loved ones the trustees have lost to Alzheimer's, only lasts until December 26. Please don't wait to make a year-end gift today while it can have TRIPLE THE IMPACT in our fight to end this disease.
This rare triple-match offer comes at a historic time in our fight — a time when early detection has never been more important. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of treatments that could meaningfully change the course of the disease means more hope for those living with early-stage Alzheimer's — but only if they get evaluated and diagnosed in time.
Early detection and diagnosis are crucial — and not just because of these breakthrough treatments. Early detection can give people more time to seek counseling and support, to explore clinical trials and treatment plans, and to build a care team to support them as they navigate the future. Most of all, it can give them more time to simply enjoy moments like the holidays with those they love.
Yet with all the reasons to seek early detection and diagnosis, only 4 in 10 Americans talk to their doctor right away when experiencing early memory or cognitive loss. That means a large number of those living with Alzheimer's are not diagnosed.
We need to eliminate the stigma around Alzheimer's. We need to encourage people to speak up when they see its signs, to confide in family, to reach out to their doctors. We need to give people more time. To do that, we need your help.
Can I count on you to make the most of our Holiday 3X Match? When make your first gift today, you will help us promote early detection and diagnosis and to deliver care and support and advance research for all affected.
While these FDA-approved treatments mark tremendous progress, they are not the answer for everyone. Our fight is far from over. We won't rest until everyone living with Alzheimer's or dementia of any kind can get the treatment, care and support they need and deserve.
When you make your first gift during our Holiday 3X Match, your support can go three times as far to:
- Provide around-the-clock support through our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900), support groups and other online resources at alz.org.
- Advance critical research through our current investment in over 1,000 best-of-field projects in 53 countries to accelerate progress toward new methods of diagnosis, treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure.
- Strengthen our commitment to providing all communities with the resources, support and education they need, when they need it.
The year is coming to a close, but I hope you'll take advantage of the time we have left to join the fight with a gift while it can still have TRIPLE the impact on our fight to end this disease.
As you and yours gather to celebrate the season, please urge your family and friends to get to know the warning signs of Alzheimer's — and to get evaluated by their doctor if they notice any of these signs. And please accept my warmest wishes for a happy and healthy holiday.
With gratitude,
Donna McCullough
Chief Mission and Field Operations Officer
