Our first ENDALZ Day is April 17 — just three days from now. This is a special day to unite as a nation in the fight against Alzheimer's disease and all other dementia.
Thanks to a $90,000 pledge from a generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous in support of Alzheimer's research and local chapter programs, your gift can make twice the difference — if we can raise that same amount by April 17.
By taking part in this incredible match opportunity, you can help us continue to demystify Alzheimer's. There are many myths around Alzheimer's and other dementia, and every person deserves clear, accessible information about this devastating disease.
Common myths and misconceptions about Alzheimer's.
Myth: Memory loss is a natural part of aging.
Fact: Alzheimer's is more than occasional memory loss. It's a disease that causes brain cells to malfunction and ultimately die.
Myth: Alzheimer's and dementia are the same thing.
Fact: Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's is a specific disease and the most common cause of dementia.
Myth: Flu shots and other vaccines increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Fact: As of today, there have been no peer-reviewed and published studies linking these vaccines to the risk of dementia.
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.
