Dear John,

Thank you for all of your support in
the fight to end Alzheimer's disease. Today, more than 5 million
Americans are living with Alzheimer's - and that number
continues to grow. This debilitating disease is not only devastating
lives but also putting an enormous burden on our health care system.

Advocacy is one of our most powerful
tools to fight for the needs and rights of those impacted by this
devastating disease - and today, I urge you to make your voice
heard.

It's up to us to make sure our elected
officials keep Alzheimer's research funding at the top of their
priority lists. As a member of our community, will you raise your
voice in support of this critical need by sending a message urging
your members of Congress to join the Congressional Task Force on
Alzheimer's Disease today?

When your members of Congress join the
Congressional Task Force on Alzheimer's Disease, they will have the
opportunity to propose legislation regarding crucial funding and
advance needed policy reforms that would potentially slow the
trajectory and lessen the impact of this disease. Founded in 1999, the
task force was established to advance research and public awareness of
Alzheimer's by bringing the disease to the forefront of the
congressional agenda.

Alzheimer's has no boundaries. The
number of lives taken from this devastating disease increased by 146%
between 2000 and 2018. Put most simply, Alzheimer's threatens to
continue to destroy our families and financially burden our health
care system if we don't change the trajectory of this disease.

By adding your voice, you are helping
to inspire our leaders to take bold action to address the Alzheimer's
crisis. Thanks to the strong bipartisan champions, Congress:

* Passed the National Alzheimer's Project Act (NAPA). NAPA's
unanimous passage led to the development of the first-ever
National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease.
* Helped secure historic funding for Alzheimer's and dementia
research at the National Institutes of Health, resulting in a
seven-fold increase in funding since the passage of NAPA.
* Advocated for the more than 5 million Americans living with
Alzheimer's and their caregivers who provided nearly $244
billion in unpaid care in 2019.

Thank you for your support as we
continue to fulfill 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.

P.S. It is imperative that our

to overcome Alzheimer's disease through increased investment in
research, enhanced care and improved support. Urge your members of
Congress to take a leadership role in this critical work by joining
the Congressional Task Force on Alzheimer's Disease today.
