Open for a special Mother's Day message.
Alzheimer's Association DONATE NOW
Let's honor mothers everywhere.
Dear Friend,

This Mother's Day, we recognize moms everywhere who have offered their love and support, acted as caregivers, or are bravely living with Alzheimer's disease or another dementia. We also take a moment to reflect on the time we spent with those who are no longer with us, whom we'll always cherish.

As you may know, Alzheimer's has a disproportionate impact on women. In fact, of the nearly 7 million people living with Alzheimer's in the United States, 4.2 million are women. While this may be because women live longer than men on average, researchers are investigating whether there are other biological or genetic factors at work.


This crisis is growing — and the reality is that everyone's at risk. That's why we're dedicated to helping the millions of people impacted by Alzheimer's by providing care and support and advancing research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure.

For mothers and women everywhere, we vow to keep up the fight until there's a cure for Alzheimer's. That fight continues with you. It's your commitment as a member of the Alzheimer's Association community that helps further 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.

We know Mother's Day can be difficult for those who have experienced loss and for families who are currently caring for someone living with the disease. If you're living with Alzheimer's or are in need of care or support, we're here all day, every day. You can reach us at our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900) or find online resources at alz.org, like our ALZNavigator tool, ALZ Connected® and links to local resources in your community. You're not alone.

There are currently no survivors of Alzheimer's, but we're fighting so that, one day, there will be. When you stand with us in this community, you pay tribute to those who have fought this disease, those fighting it today and provide hope for the future generations we want to protect.

Thank you to all the amazing women in our lives — especially those we call mom. And thank you for your commitment in the fight against Alzheimer's.

Sincerely,

Donna McCullough
