Today, we honor the fathers, grandfathers and all the special men who have made an impact in our lives.
We're especially grateful to those who've served as Alzheimer's disease caregivers for loved ones, those who've been unwavering in their support, those who are living with Alzheimer's and those we have lost to the disease. We will always honor and cherish them.
We understand that Father's Day can be a difficult time for those who've experienced loss, as well as for those who may be caregivers to their fathers and other loved ones. If you're thinking of such a father figure in your life today, our hearts are with you.
The sad fact of the matter is that more than 2.5 million men 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's in the United States, and millions more are 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.
Thanks to the support of our community, we're able to:
Provide care and support to individuals and the more than 11 million Americans providing unpaid care for people living with Alzheimer's, including our free 24/7 Helpline, care consultations, support groups and more. Our website, alz.org, guides caregivers to educational programs and care resources — not to mention the latest updates on promising research.
Drive scientific progress through our current investment in more than 1,100 active best-of-field projects in 56 countries — including new strategies for earlier diagnosis.
Advocate for public policy that will increase federal research funding and support those impacted by Alzheimer's.
For fathers and families everywhere, we vow to keep up the fight until there's a cure for Alzheimer's. Your determination 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.
Thank you to all the amazing men in our lives — especially those we call dad. And thank you for your commitment in the fight against Alzheimer's.
