Deanna Hengge, an Alzheimer's Association volunteer, with her late husband Bob, who was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia.

Dear Friend,

Every day that goes by, someone's loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. For these people, every day is precious. People living with Alzheimer's disease fight for more good days and to spend as much time as possible with the people they love. That's why we need a cure.

At the Alzheimer's Association, we provide care and support to help people living with Alzheimer's and their loved ones and give them hope for future treatments and, ultimately, a cure. We need your help right now. We're now nearing the end of our October $75,000 Match Challenge. When you make a gift before MIDNIGHT TOMORROW, your gift can go twice as far and make real progress in the fight. Will you take a minute right now and join the fight with a gift?

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 tomorrow at midnight. Their gift is made in loving memory of Jane's father, Robert "RT" Tracy, who died 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.

MAKE 2X THE IMPACT

Deanna Hengge knows firsthand the pain that comes from a dementia diagnosis — she acted as caregiver for her husband, Bob, who passed away from Lewy body dementia. But she also knows how the Association fights to accelerate research for future treatments and works tirelessly to provide care and support. She later became an Alzheimer's Association advocate to give back.

"My support group family gave me really practical advice," Deanna says. "Now I volunteer to help other caregivers and their families."

You can be a part of this community of care and support, as well as helping us accelerate future research. Right now, you have a limited-time opportunity to have double the impact on our vital work during our October $75,000 Match Challenge.

YOUR IMPACT CAN BE DOUBLED NOW

Please don't wait — we only have until tomorrow to reach our goal so that your gift can be doubled in impact to help 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.

Your first gift to our October $75,000 Match Challenge could be the one to unlock this match so that we can make double the impact to fund research toward treatments for people living with Alzheimer's and help provide care and support.

Together, we can beat this devastating disease.

Yours in the fight,

Michael Reich
Chief Marketing Officer

P.S. Your help is urgently needed during our October $75,000 Match Challenge, so please make your first gift while it can go 2X as far.
