When we speak to people living with Alzheimer's disease and their loved ones, we see their fears and pain, but we also see their determination — to live as well as possible today and to fight as hard as they can for a better tomorrow.
We can't confront this escalating global public health crisis without your support. We're so close to achieving our $75,000 goal and unlocking this match challenge. But we need your help by MIDNIGHT TONIGHT to get there so we can continue providing quality care and support while also accelerating research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure.

Josh Lonn, an Alzheimer's Association volunteer, with his father, Larry, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2015.
Our work is focused on helping people living with dementia and their loved ones live for today as best as possible AND fighting for a tomorrow without Alzheimer's disease.
Josh Lonn isn't ready to give up the fight for tomorrow. His father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2015, but he is still hopeful that our work will eventually lead to more treatments and, ultimately, a cure.
"I've watched Alzheimer's erode my brilliant father slowly. But I see the advances in research and treatment, and I fight so that one day my kids will live in a world without this disease."
The advances in research and treatment, such as U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of several treatments that could meaningfully change the course of the disease for some people living with early Alzheimer's, are just a few of the many reasons to take part in the fight. But these treatments aren't for everyone, and they aren't cures — so there isn't a second to waste. Currently, 1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another dementia, and every day, more people are diagnosed with this devastating disease that steals so much from us.
Thanks to our generous supporters, we've made tremendous progress. This past July, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration approved another treatment that can meaningfully change the course of the disease for some people living with early Alzheimer's.
We're moving closer to a cure, but we can't get there without you. Our work is far from done, and we won't rest until everyone — at any stage — can get the treatment, care and support they need and deserve. That's why your support — that can DOUBLE in impact if you act before midnight tonight — is critical.
We must keep the momentum going. There is still time to help provide twice the care and support for today and twice the hope for the future to families who are affected by this cruel disease. Please don't wait — make your gift before midnight.
