Today is the day to make 2X the impact.

“After my mother was diagnosed, we turned to the Association for help. They gave me so much support and shared how to best take care of her. Who could imagine that my husband would then be diagnosed with Alzheimer's as well?”– Joanne Knight

Dear John, We're down to the last few days. If you knew you could help millions of people in the next few days, would you do so? That's the opportunity I'm hopeful that you'll take advantage of at this very minute. The generous Knight family has pledged to match all gifts up to $442,695. But first we must raise the same amount before midnight on Thursday. The family's gift will provide local care and support, while your gift today will provide care and support and advance research.

Alzheimer's disease is a triple threat unlike any other disease — with soaring prevalence, lack of effective treatment and enormous costs. This devastating, relentless and debilitating disease is the ultimate thief — of memories, independence, control, time and, ultimately, life. But we can fight back together. When you make a gift today, you'll: Make research possible against the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. We'll continue to fund studies toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure. Ensure that every hour of every day, when a person living with Alzheimer's or a caregiver calls our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900), a master's-level clinician can provide much-needed resources and information. Make certain no one has to face Alzheimer's alone, thanks to our network of advocates who work at the federal and state levels to encourage legislation that will improve the lives of those affected by Alzheimer's and all other dementia. Hurry! This offer ends on December 31. Your gift of: Time is running out to join us in our fight to end Alzheimer's with your first gift before the year ends while you can have 2X the impact. Your gift today can have double the impact on 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. Please hurry, John. The clock is ticking — and it's vitally important that we end this year strong to keep the momentum going in the fight against this devastating disease. Wishing you a safe and happy new year. Many thanks, Donna McCullough Chief Field and Development Officer
