Dear Friend,

Today, on International Women's Day,
we recognize the achievements of women who are changing the world. We
also recognize the disproportionate impact Alzheimer's disease has on
women. Did you know that almost two-thirds of Americans living with
Alzheimer's are women? In fact, a woman's estimated lifetime risk of
developing Alzheimer's at age 65 is 1 in 5.

In addition to their risk of
developing Alzheimer's or another dementia, women are also at the
center of the Alzheimer's disease crisis because the responsibility of
caring for someone living with dementia often falls to women. Research
shows more than 60% of Alzheimer's and dementia caregivers are women.
Women caregivers also experience higher levels of depression and
impaired health than men, and 19% have had to quit work to become a
caregiver or because they struggled to balance caregiving with their
jobs.

Behind these statistics are mothers,
daughters, sisters, nieces, colleagues and friends. Maybe even you or
someone you know.

At the Alzheimer's Association, we are
working tirelessly to support women's health through our efforts to
advance Alzheimer's research and provide crucial care and support to
those impacted by the disease. We're here to help the millions of
women and all people impacted by Alzheimer's and other dementia. Your
support as a member of our community allows us to provide resources
like:

* Our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900), staffed with
master's-level clinicians, who are there to provide much-needed
care and support to caregivers and people living with
Alzheimer's.
* ALZ Connected®, an online community where anyone impacted by
Alzheimer's can share concerns and offer support - so that
no one has to feel alone.

* Community Resource Finder, to help find programs, events and
community services.

This International Women's Day, as we
recognize the women impacted by Alzheimer's, I thank you for your
commitment to our fight against this disease.

With appreciation,

Donna McCullough
Chief Operating Officer

P.S. This International Women's Day,
please honor women in your life by making your first gift that can
have twice the impact during our Double Your Impact Match Challenge. A
generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous has pledged a $325,000
gift to the Alzheimer's Association to advance Alzheimer's research if
we can raise that same amount by April 1.

Your first gift today can have TWICE the impact on 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.

Your donation will strengthen our efforts
to advance Alzheimer's care, support and research. From face-to-face
support to online education programs and promising global research
initiatives, your gift makes a difference in the lives of all those
affected by Alzheimer's and other dementias in your community and
across the world. Thank you for your continued support.
