Dear Friend,
Did you know that right now, nearly 12
million Americans are providing unpaid care for a loved one living
with Alzheimer's disease? It's a role that requires great commitment
and there are no days off. Today, you can show that you stand with all
caregivers by joining the fight with a gift to the Alzheimer's
Association while it can TRIPLE in impact during our Power Our
Progress 3X Match!

This match
is made possible thanks to a generous pledge from Leone McKay, made in
honor of her late husband, Col. Bill McKay, whom she lost to
Alzheimer's after three years of battling the disease. Bill's
diagnosis was devastating, and Leone experienced the demoralizing
effects that the disease has on many caregivers. The added
responsibilities, stress and grief greatly impacted her physical and
mental health. Thanks to Leone's generosity, any gift you make by
November 17 - up to $660,000 - can go 3X as far to help
provide care and support to families impacted by Alzheimer's, while
also accelerating global research and driving advocacy and education
efforts.

This pledge from Leone will give others facing Alzheimer's the
help and hope that she so desperately needed as a caregiver and to
support research so that one day, no one will have to experience what
she and her husband did.
Her pledge will go toward accelerating research to improve
early detection, discover new treatments and help find a cure. Your
gift today can go 3X as far to help provide vital care and support and
advance promising research, as well as strengthen advocacy efforts.

We have made tremendous progress in the fight, but we can't
stop now. Every day, more people are diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and
more loved ones become caregivers. They rely on us for resources and
information as they face new challenges in each stage of the disease,
and we rely on your generosity to help ensure that we can be there for
them whenever we're needed.

It's important for caregivers to maintain physical and mental
health. To help, the Association has put together a list of tips for
fighting caregiving stress. You can help make vital care resources
like this available, while advancing research for new treatments that
could greatly improve the lives of those living with Alzheimer's.

Fight Caregiving Stress
Unpaid dementia caregiving accounted for an estimated 19
billion hours in the United States last year, equating to a cost of
roughly $384 billion. This care can be physically, mentally and
emotionally demanding - more than 70% of dementia caregivers
report feeling stressed when coordinating care.
Leone McKay knows this stress all too well. Following her
husband's diagnosis, she became so focused on caring for Bill that she
neglected her own health. Sadly, this is the case for many caregivers
as they navigate new challenges and crises, all while dealing with the
grief of losing a loved one.
If you or someone you know is acting as a caregiver, it's
important to be aware of symptoms of caregiver stress and burnout:
1. Denial about the disease and its effect on the person who has
been diagnosed.
2. Anger at the person living with Alzheimer's or frustration
that they can't do the things they used to be able to do.
3. Social withdrawal from friends and activities that used to
make the caregiver feel good.
4. Anxiety about the future and facing another day.
5. Depression that breaks the spirit and affects the caregiver's
ability to cope.
6. Exhaustion that makes it nearly impossible to complete
necessary daily tasks.
7. Sleeplessness caused by a never-ending list of concerns.
8. Irritability that leads to moodiness and triggers negative
responses and actions.
9. Lack of concentration that makes it difficult to perform
familiar tasks.
10. Health problems that begin to take a mental and physical
toll.
If you are a caregiver and are
experiencing these symptoms, reach out to a physician. We also provide
resources for caregivers who are experiencing stress or feeling
overwhelmed:
* Our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900) offers confidential
support and information to people living with the disease,
caregivers, families and the public.
* ALZNavigator(TM) is an online tool that provides a customized
action plan with information, educational programs and local
resources for people living with dementia and their caregivers.

* ALZConnected® is a free online community designed for people
living with dementia and those who care for them.

* Community Resource Finder provides information on programs and
events, care at home, community services, housing options and
medical services.
