Dear John,

Thank you for your commitment to the
fight to end Alzheimer's disease and all other dementia.

Advocacy is one of our most powerful
tools for fighting for the needs and rights of those impacted by this
devastating disease and supporting the more than 6 million Americans
living with Alzheimer's. Today, I urge you to

make your voice heard on their behalf.

Did you know that Alzheimer's and
other dementia disproportionately affect older Black and Hispanic
Americans compared to older whites? In fact, Black Americans are twice
as likely to develop Alzheimer's, and Hispanic Americans are one and a
half times more likely to develop the disease.

Yet much of the Alzheimer's research
to date has not been representative of the U.S. population, hindering
research and restricting knowledge of this disease.

For everyone living with Alzheimer's,
everyone affected and everyone at risk, we must change the trajectory
of this disease.

The bi-partisan Equity in Neuroscience
and Alzheimer's Clinical Trials (ENACT) Act would:

* Expand the number of Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers in
areas with higher concentrations of underrepresented
populations.
* Increase outreach and awareness of clinical trial opportunities
to underrepresented communities and primary care physicians.
* Enhance the diversity of staff conducting clinical trials.
* Provide incentives for locating Alzheimer's clinical trial sites
in areas with high concentrations of underrepresented
populations.
* Encourage community-based engagement strategies to increase
clinical trial participation.

It's up to us to make sure our
legislators keep Alzheimer's research funding at the top of their
priority list and to build support for this important bi-partisan
legislation.

We need caring members of our
community, like you, to raise your voice in support of this critical
need by urging members of Congress to pass the ENACT Act.

Act Now

Alzheimer's has no boundaries. The
number of lives taken from this cruel disease increased by 145%
between 2000 and 2019. Put most simply, Alzheimer's threatens to
continue to destroy our families and burden our health care system if
we don't advance research.

By adding your voice, you are helping
to inspire our leaders to take a stand to address the Alzheimer's
crisis. We've made it easy and quick for you, too, by providing sample
language for you to use.

Act now

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.

When we act together, we will make a
difference.

Sincerely,

John Funderburk
Vice President, Advocacy
Alzheimer's Association
