It's hard to believe that we're already in the last week of October. Before we dive into the holiday season, I'm excited to announce a special opportunity for you to double your impact in the fight against Alzheimer's disease. OurGrateful Giving 2X Matchbegins today! But it only lasts until the end of the week, so we need to hear from you right away.
The JTMF Foundation has pledged an incredible $100,000 to the Alzheimer's Association if we can raise that same amount by October 31. Made in honor of loved ones they've lost to Alzheimer's, the trustees of the foundation have chosen to have their gift support Project ECHO® to improve access to best-practice care and resources within local communities.
We are so grateful for your interest in our work to end Alzheimer's. We need you in the fight today, Friend, because there's simply no time to waste. Right now, over 7 million Americans are living with this devastating disease, and that number is expected to reach 13.8 million by 2060. It's an escalating global public health crisis, and more people are diagnosed every day.
Support individuals and families impacted by Alzheimer's or another dementia by providing access to local resources and in-person support groups, online tools like ALZNavigator™ and ALZConnected®, our new My ALZ Journey™ app and our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900), which receives over 223,000 calls and online chats annually.
Advance the best dementia science worldwide through our current investment of more than $450 million in over 1,200 best-of-field research projects in 56 countries spanning six continents.
Advocate unrelentingly for state and federal policies that increase research funding and support all those affected by Alzheimer's.
Now is the time to do more, not less. 1 in 3 older adults currently dies with Alzheimer's or another dementia. These are our grandparents, mothers, fathers, spouses, friends and neighbors, and every day we lose more of them. But with your help, there's hope.
There are now U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments that could change the progression of the disease in those living in the early stages. More treatments are in the pipeline, and with you by our side, we'll push them forward, while continuing to provide quality care and support to those who count on us every day.
Your support has never been more important because our work is far from done. We need YOU during our Grateful Giving 2X Match. But time is already running out. We must reach our goal by October 31 so that all gifts — up to $100,000 — can go twice as far to bring help and hope to the millions living with Alzheimer's or another dementia and their caregivers.
With hope and gratitude,
Katie Evans
