Dear Friend,

Thank you for your commitment to the
fight to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia.

Advocacy is one of the most powerful
tools we have to fight for the needs and rights of everyone impacted
by Alzheimer's disease. There are nearly 7 million Americans living
with this devastating disease and more than 11 million family members
and friends providing unpaid care - and they need our support.
Today, I ask you to be bold and raise your voice and speak up on their
behalf. We need your help to ensure that our nation continues to
address Alzheimer's and all other dementia as a priority at this
historic time.

Right now, advocates are urging
Congress to continue our progress by reauthorizing the Building Our
Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act. Since it
was signed into law in 2018, this critical legislation has been
creating an Alzheimer's public health infrastructure across the
country, implementing effective interventions such as increasing early
detection and diagnosis and reducing risk.

In the years since the enactment of
the BOLD Act, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has
made 66 awards to 45 state, local and tribal health departments. These
awards enable departments to work towards implementing public health
strategies that promote brain health, address dementia, and support
those affected by this disease. In 2023 alone, the CDC announced 43
BOLD award recipients, the most in a single year since the law was
passed.

The BOLD Act also provides funding for
the BOLD Public Health Centers of Excellence and has increased data
analysis and timely reporting on Alzheimer's, cognitive decline,
caregiving and health disparities.

We must keep this momentum going
strong. The bipartisan BOLD Reauthorization Act was introduced this
February into the House of Representatives and the Senate. This
critical legislation would strengthen and renew our country's
commitment to addressing Alzheimer's as a public health issue for
another five years.

With a projected nearly 13 million
Americans living with Alzheimer's by 2050, this global public health
crisis will only continue to grow. The time to act is now.

We need you as a caring member of our
community to raise your voice and urge Congress to pass this critical
piece of legislation.
