International Women's Day

Dear Friend,

Today is International Women's Day, and here at the
Alzheimer's Association, we recognize the bravery, strength and
resilience of women everywhere. Throughout history, women have
overcome so many obstacles and fought to break down barriers. But
there is one battle still waiting to be won - the battle against
Alzheimer's, a disease that disproportionately impacts women.

Almost two-thirds of Americans living
with Alzheimer's are women. Research also shows that more than 60% of
Alzheimer's and dementia caregivers are women. They take on added
responsibilities and stress that lead to higher levels of depression
and impaired health, with nearly 19% of women caregivers finding it
necessary to leave their jobs due to the increasing demands of their
caregiving responsibilities.

These women are our grandmothers, mothers, aunts, sisters,
nieces and friends. It could be you or someone you know. When you look
at the statistics, it's clear that future generations of women are at
risk as well.

We must change the trajectory of this
devastating disease for women - and for everyone -
impacted by Alzheimer's. Luckily, there are women, like Alzheimer's
Association volunteer Ana Maria, who are stepping up.

Having lost both of her parents to Alzheimer's, Ana Maria
knows firsthand the impact of this disease. "You lose your family
members twice. You lose them when they get dementia, and then you lose
them again when they pass away."

Ana Maria's loss was heartbreaking, but it also motivated her
to fight back. "This disease can rob you of who you are. It can rob us
of the people that we love. For me, that's my motivation. So many
people have lost loved ones, and it could happen to us if we don't
take care of ourselves."

Now, Ana Maria volunteers to teach others about healthy brain
habits and lifestyle changes that could lower the risk of cognitive
decline and possibly developing Alzheimer's, including diet, exercise
and prioritizing sleep.

Thanks to volunteers like Ana Maria and your interest in our
cause, the Alzheimer's Association is fighting for a cure for women
and the nearly 7 million Americans living with Alzheimer's. The
generosity of our supporters helps 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. It also helps us to provide
resources like:

* Our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900), staffed with
master's-level clinicians.
* ALZ Connected®, an online community where anyone impacted by
Alzheimer's can share concerns and offer support - so that
no one has to feel alone.

* Community Resource Finder, to help find programs, events and
community.

International Women's Day may only be one day on the calendar,
but we recognize the women impacted by Alzheimer's and all other
dementia year-round. I thank you for your interest in helping advance
critical research and providing care and support to all who are living
with Alzheimer's and their caregivers.

With appreciation,
Katie Evans
Chief Programs and Engagement Officer
