Anthony Sandone, who was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's in 2023, with his wife, Karen.
Dear Friend,
Right now, for just the next three days, every gift received — up to $75,000 — can be matched as part of our October $75,000 Match Challenge. Will you take advantage of the opportunity today to have your gift matched 2X to 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?
Today, nearly 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease. But to Karen and her six children, there's only one person who fills their lives with love and laughter: their husband and father, Anthony Sandone. Anthony and his family were shocked when he received his diagnosis in 2023.
Like so many other families facing this diagnosis, they turned to the Alzheimer's Association. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, they were able to access key information and resources, which gave them guidance and a path forward. With help from the Association and the loving support of family, the Sandones are now living for today.
"We understand now that materialistic things do not matter. So we're focusing on spending more time with our kids. One day at a time. Making memories," Karen says.
This match is made possible by Jane and Fred Schmidt, who have made a generous pledge of $75,000 to support Alzheimer's research efforts — but only if we can raise the same amount by October 14. Their gift is made in loving memory of Jane's father, Robert "RT" Tracy, who passed away with Alzheimer's in 2006 and would have celebrated his 100th birthday this year. Your gift today can go 2X as far to help provide care and support and advance research that can one day end Alzheimer's.
It is crucial that you take the next step with us and make an urgently needed gift while it can go 2X as far. Your generosity can propel our work to provide care and support for the millions impacted by Alzheimer's today and to advance vital research efforts for tomorrow.
