We are so grateful to Roy Robbins, who has generously pledged to match every gift we receive, up to $40,000, to help fund local care and support and Alzheimer's research — if we raise that same amount by midnight tomorrow. This pledge has been made in memory of his late mother, Frances Hopton Robbins, who passed away from Alzheimer's in 1987.
Roy Robbins and his mother, Frances Hopton Robbins
We are inspired by Roy and his devotion to honoring his mother. He has a true commitment to ending Alzheimer's and all other dementia. Supporters like Roy are critical to our efforts in advancing research into promising potential treatment options and providing care and support resources for people living with the disease and their loved ones. But this offer is only here until tomorrow at midnight, and we need your help. Will you honor someone you love and make a gift that can go 2X as far in providing care and support and advancing research?
What if we could diagnose Alzheimer's or other dementia before symptoms started? By the time people living with the disease are experiencing early signs and symptoms of dementia, irreversible changes to the brain may have already occurred.
At the recent Alzheimer's Association International Conference® 2024 (AAIC®), researchers reported promising results for highly accurate blood tests that can reliably detect Alzheimer's hallmark brain changes earlier. This may soon signal a shift to simpler, less-expensive and less-invasive detection and diagnosis within primary care physicians’ offices and may even provide a quicker path to treatment.
It's important to speak with your doctor about any symptoms you are experiencing and what options may be available for you. Research suggests that as many as half of people living with dementia have never been diagnosed. But an earlier diagnosis of Alzheimer's or another dementia can improve the quality of care and quality of life and may reduce the financial and emotional impact of the disease.
With thanks,
Michael Reich
