Dear Friend,
As the year comes to a close, there's
no better time to reflect on the progress that we've made in the fight
against Alzheimer's disease in 2023.
Your inspiring commitment gives us a
lot to be thankful for as we look back on the year and look ahead to
2024. On behalf of myself, the entire Alzheimer's Association
community and the more than 6 million Americans living with
Alzheimer's disease, I want to offer you my deepest thanks.
We're committed to advancing 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. But we can't
do it alone.

Your generosity has made important
progress possible in the fight against this disease. As Alzheimer's
remains an escalating global public health crisis, there's no time to
spare - and it's up to all of us to help, in whatever way we
can.
I'm pleased to share with you our 2023
Annual Report, where you will see how much your support has helped
strengthen the Alzheimer's Association community and promote our
diverse resources, advocacy initiatives and advancing research aimed
at building a healthier future.

With your help, we:
* Provided care and support more than 6.5 million times through
channels including alz.org, care consultations, support groups
and education programs.

* Received over 200,000 calls and online chats through our 24/7
Helpline (800.272.3900), offering free confidential support and
information to people facing Alzheimer's and all other dementia.
* Advocated for an increase of $226 million in Alzheimer's and
dementia research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH),
bringing federal funding to more than $3.7 billion annually.
* Advocated in all 50 states to secure access to FDA-approved
Alzheimer's treatments for those who would benefit.
* Invested in over 1,000 active research projects in 53 countries
across six continents.
* And achieved many more accomplishments that you can read about
in our 2023 Annual Report.

In addition to these tremendous steps,
your generosity helped us achieve a monumental milestone in 2023: an
astounding $100 million investment in research initiatives, the
largest single-year investment in our history. This unparalleled
commitment shows the momentum we're building today in our search for
breakthroughs tomorrow.
We have a lot to be proud of -
and many reasons to be hopeful.
At the same time, this time of year
can be challenging for families facing Alzheimer's. When changes in a
loved one's health make it impossible to celebrate the way you used
to, the pain can be hard to bear. Caregivers, especially, can become
overwhelmed and isolated as they try to create a celebratory yet safe
atmosphere.
If this is true for you and your
family, I offer you my compassion and encouragement. Please know that
you are not alone and that we're always here to help.
Our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900)
is available every single day - holidays, weekends, no
exceptions. Our website, alz.org, is always available with helpful
resources, as is our

programs, support services and housing options in your local
community.

P.S. Because the holidays can be an
especially difficult time for families facing Alzheimer's, I hope
you'll send a gift of solidarity and support. In honor of loved ones
they've lost to Alzheimer's, trustees of the JTMF Foundation have
generously pledged to triple match every gift we receive, up to a
total of $250,000, to support local care and support programs and to
expand our reach to families in rural communities - but only
until December 26. Your year-end gift today can make 3X the impact in
the fight against Alzheimer's. Warm wishes for a happy new year to you
and your loved ones.

across the world. Thank you for your continued support.
