Dear Friend,

I'm filled with gratitude to all those in the dementia science
community who participated in the Alzheimer's Association
International Conference® 2024 (AAIC®). It was an
extraordinary, inspiring week of new developments in Alzheimer's and
dementia science and collaboration.

I'm also thankful for you. The kind of
progress that was made this past week couldn't have happened without
the generous support of new partners in the fight against
Alzheimer's.

We need your involvement for what comes next. That's why I'm
reaching out today, to ask for your support so you can be a
contributor to accelerating this vital research and helping to provide
much-needed care and support.

Friend, your
generosity as a member of our community helps us provide care and
support resources and fund the critical research we saw at AAIC.

This is a particularly promising
moment for the dementia science community, with advancements on all
fronts in the fight against Alzheimer's and all other dementia:

* Risks and prevention: A study of 1.2 million Californians showed
an increased risk of dementia after exposure to wildfire smoke.
Another 43-year study of 130,000 people shows that eating about
two servings of processed red meat a week increased the risk of
dementia by 14%, and that swapping a serving of processed red
meat for a serving of nuts, beans or tofu may lower the risk of
dementia by 20%.
* Early detection and diagnosis: New blood tests that accurately
and reliably detect Alzheimer's hallmark brain changes may soon
signal a shift to simpler, less-expensive and less-invasive
detection and diagnosis, and support volunteer recruitment for
treatment trials.
* Treatment: GLP-1 agonists - the class of drugs prescribed
to treat diabetes and weight loss - may also protect the
brain. A study of liraglutide in people living with mild
Alzheimer's reduced shrinking by nearly 50% in parts of the
brain that affect memory, learning, language and
decision-making, when compared to a placebo.

There's still more work to do. We must
seize this momentum and do all we can to accelerate research progress
while being there for those living with Alzheimer's with the care and
support that is so needed. As these researchers return to their labs
and offices, their work will continue - and so will ours, until
we achieve our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other
dementia.

Will you help us kick off this historic time in the fight to
end Alzheimer's with your first gift now?

I truly believe the sharing and collaborating that took place
at AAIC will lead to more breakthrough research discoveries. Thank you
for again supporting 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.

Gratefully,
