Double Your Impact Match Challenge Help change the lives of millions
of women.

Dear Friend,
Two-thirds of Americans living with Alzheimer's disease are
women - they are our mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmothers,
wives, and girlfriends. That means that if you're a woman, you're more
likely to develop Alzheimer's during your life than a man.
Women have long been at the center of the Alzheimer's crisis
- because they're diagnosed with dementia at disproportionate
rates and because the responsibility of caring for someone living with
dementia often falls to women.
Research shows that women take on more Alzheimer's caregiving
tasks than their male counterparts. Women caregivers also experience
higher levels of depression and impaired health than men.
Your first gift today during our Double Your Impact Match
Challenge can go TWICE as far and can be your way of honoring all the
women in your life. We're fortunate to have this incredible
opportunity for your gift to make 2X the difference because of a
generous supporter who wishes to remain anonymous. They have pledged a
$325,000 gift to advance Alzheimer's research if we can raise that
same amount by April 1.

Your contribution to this match challenge will support critical
research efforts and help provide comprehensive care and support.

International Women's Day is tomorrow, March 8. We recognize
the achievements of women who are changing the world. But one thing
hasn't changed: Women in their 60s are more than twice as likely to
develop Alzheimer's disease as they are to develop breast cancer.
On this day, we think of all the women we care about and the
accomplishments they've made. We also recognize the disproportionate
health threat that Alzheimer's brings to their lives. Here are a few
more facts about women and Alzheimer's:
* A woman's estimated lifetime risk of developing Alzheimer's at
age 65 is 1 in 5.
* More than 60% of Alzheimer's and dementia caregivers are women.
* 19% of women Alzheimer's caregivers had to quit work to become a
caregiver or because their caregiving duties became too
burdensome.
Behind these statistics are mothers, daughters, sisters,
nieces, colleagues and friends. Maybe even you or someone you know.
Ahead of a day that honors the love and support of women, you
can double your impact on our work to provide care and support and
accelerate research that could change the lives of millions of women
- and all those impacted by Alzheimer's - all over the
world.

You can even make your first gift in honor of a woman in your
life - a sister or friend, aunt or grandmother or perhaps a
neighbor.

It's a gift that can go 2X as far.
For the women in your life, and for everyone affected by this
disease, please give just as generously as you can to 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.
