Fall is in the air. Temperatures are cooling, and the leaves are beginning to change color. But one thing that never changes is our commitment to the fight against Alzheimer's disease.
We know you share that same commitment. And beginning today, you have an opportunity to double your impact on our vital work with our Autumn 2X Match Challenge. From now until October 10, your gift — up to $150,000 — can be matched 2X to provide twice the help and twice the hope.
Generous supporter Leone McKay has pledged to match every donation we receive — up to a total of $150,000 — if we can raise the same amount by October 10. Her gift is made in honor of her late husband, Col. William P. McKay, whom she lost to Alzheimer's disease, and will support research efforts. Your gift today can go 2X as far to advance 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.
With more than 7 million Americans living with Alzheimer's, there are more than 7 million reasons to give right now. Maybe you know and love one of them. When you make a gift, you help ensure that we can provide the care and support resources they need now, as well as advance crucial research for future prevention, early detection, treatments and, ultimately, a cure. Will you take a moment right now and help us start this match challenge off strong?
Thanks to our supporters, we have already made a real impact. This past July, we published 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.
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.
