Dear Friend,
It's not every day that you get the amazing opportunity to make twice the difference in the fight against Alzheimer's, a relentless disease that takes so much from our families and communities. But with our $200,000 Fall Match Challenge, you still have the chance for your gift to be matched, providing double the impact for the millions affected by Alzheimer's disease or another dementia. We haven't heard from you yet — will you take a moment right now to make your first gift and have double the impact on advancing research and providing care and support?
There is exciting progress in Alzheimer's and dementia research that is creating promising new treatments for people living with the disease. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved treatments that could meaningfully change the course of the disease for some people living with early Alzheimer's. But while these treatments bring hope for some, they're not the answer for everyone. Our work is far from done.
Many people living with Alzheimer's are not diagnosed. Even among those who are, a large number are unaware of their treatment options. However, an early diagnosis can improve quality of care and quality of life and may reduce the financial and emotional impact of the disease. Some medications that target the underlying biology of the disease are only effective in the early stages of Alzheimer's.
Your gift today would make a difference every day for the millions of people living with Alzheimer's and their loved ones. By joining us with a gift today to our $200,000 Fall Match Challenge, you can help spread the word about early detection and inform people about the benefits it can have on their lives, accelerate vital research, and provide care and support to those affected by Alzheimer's.
Your impact can be doubled.
The Kahlert Foundation, a Maryland-based family foundation, has pledged to match every donation we receive by October 31 — up to a total of $200,000 — to support Alzheimer's research and programs and outreach initiatives at its local chapter, if we can raise the same amount by the deadline. But this campaign ends tomorrow, and we need you to help unlock this match while it can still make twice the impact in the fight to end Alzheimer's.
Every day without a cure for Alzheimer's and other dementia is a day when we lose more people to this devastating disease. The millions of people living with Alzheimer's and their loved ones need you more than ever, Friend. Will you answer the call now?
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. Thank you for your continued support.
