With our supporters' help, we are working to accelerate crucial research and provide care and support to those affected by Alzheimer's disease and all other dementia. We bring help to the millions in need now and fuel progress toward a future free of Alzheimer's.
You are someone committed to our work, so I wanted to let you know that World Alzheimer's Day is right around the corner — and it's the perfect time to give. Your gift made by September 21 during our World Alzheimer's Day 2X Match Challenge can have double the impact in the fight.
This past July, we announced the results of U.S. POINTER, a two-year clinical trial to evaluate whether lifestyle interventions that simultaneously target many risk factors protect cognitive function in older adults who are at increased risk for cognitive decline. Both of the lifestyle interventions in U.S. POINTER improved cognition in older adults at risk of cognitive decline. These positive results underscore the message that healthy behavior has a powerful impact on brain health.
Despite this tremendous progress, Alzheimer's remains an escalating global public health crisis. So, our work is far from done. This World Alzheimer's Day, you have a chance to make an even bigger impact on our work to change the future of this devastating disease.
Generous supporter Leone McKay has pledged to match every donation we receive — up to a total of $150,000 — if we can raise that same amount. Her pledge is made in honor of her late husband, Col. William P. McKay, whom she lost to Alzheimer's disease, and will support vital research. This challenge only lasts until midnight on September 21, so we need your help right away. Will you make a gift now while it can go 2X as far toward advancing research and helping to provide vital care and support?
With over 7 million Americans living with Alzheimer's, there are over 7 million reasons to act quickly before our September 21 deadline.
Your gift can change the lives of millions by helping 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. Don't wait — make a gift now, while it can double in impact.
Gratefully,
Katie Evans
