Take a stand in the fight to end Alzheimer's.

Dear Friend, Tomorrow, we celebrate Memorial Day by honoring the soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice for this country. We also reflect on the veterans who served bravely and are now fighting a new battle: Alzheimer's disease. You have a very special opportunity to help these heroes — and every person battling Alzheimer's and all other dementia — by giving now during our One-Week 2X Match Challenge. We have a donor who wishes to remain anonymous to thank for offering this match challenge. This generous supporter has pledged a gift of $50,000 to advance critical Alzheimer's research and has agreed to match every gift we receive by May 30. But to meet the challenge, we all need to do our part by raising that same $50,000 amount by the end of this week. Will you join our One-Week 2X Match Challenge today? Did you know that: In 2022, an estimated 451,000 veterans were living with Alzheimer's, and more than 130,000 new cases were diagnosed. Post-traumatic stress disorder has been linked to an increased risk of dementia and is two to five times more common in veterans. Veterans with dementia are 2.6 times more likely to be hospitalized than other veterans — and hospital stays are, on average, 2.4 times longer. Thanks to our supporters, we've made immense progress in the fight against Alzheimer's, for our veterans and all those impacted by this cruel disease. More treatments are being developed and more care and support resources are reaching more people who need them. But we need your help to keep progress moving forward, and we need it today. This Memorial Day weekend, give in honor of a hero while your gift can go 2X as far to fight Alzheimer's. Fight for our heroes. Make 2X the impact. Your support today can go TWICE as far to accelerate research toward developing new treatments and help those living with the disease and their caregivers get the care and support they need. Thanks to your support this holiday weekend, we can be here for people living with Alzheimer's — and the people who care about them. Friend, in honor of our heroes, please make a gift to our One-Week 2X Match Challenge while your gift can make 2X the impact. This important challenge ends this week. Please don't wait to give. The need to act has never been more urgent. The number of people living with Alzheimer's in the United States is expected to double to nearly 13 million by 2050. By taking this opportunity to DOUBLE your impact now, you can help reduce these odds and perhaps even change the very course of Alzheimer's. Think about the difference you can make today when you take action with your first gift while it can be matched up to $50,000. Thank you for being a partner in our fight against Alzheimer's. Sincerely, Michael Reich Chief Marketing Officer P.S. This Memorial Day weekend, seize this opportunity to double your 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.
