Dear John,

As I write to you today, many of the
world's leading scientists from the world of Alzheimer's and dementia
research are wrapping up their participation in this year's
Alzheimer's Association International Conference® 2021
(AAIC®). Your desire to find a cure drives them to work harder to
develop one.

Some are still engaged in final
discussions and making plans for the year ahead. Others are preparing
to return to their labs and offices inspired and invigorated by the
exchanges they've had with their colleagues.

I'm inspired, too. I know the sharing
and collaborating that have taken place this week will lead to more
breakthrough research discoveries and advance 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.

It isn't only scientists who make that
kind of progress happen - it's also thanks to our community of
supporters like you, with your dedication to the fight to end
Alzheimer's.

Everything we do depends on the
generosity and commitment of our community - and that includes
you. I'm certain that if you could talk to all the researchers who
attended this year's AAIC, they'd tell you the same thing - as
the conference ends, the work begins anew.

Here are a few incredible highlights
we have seen over the past five days:

* Improving air quality reduces dementia risk: We know that air
pollution is bad for our health, including our brains. Now we
have new evidence that improving air quality may improve
cognitive function and reduce dementia risk.
* COVID-19 associated with long-term cognitive dysfunction,
acceleration of Alzheimer's symptoms: A new study by an
international, multidisciplinary consortium, including
scientific leaders from the Alzheimer's Association announced
its first findings on the short-and long-term consequences of
the viral infection on the brain and central nervous system.
* Education expected to decrease global dementia cases by 2050:
New global prevalence data offer both good and bad news: While
global access to education is expected to decrease dementia
cases by 6.2 million by 2050, those benefits will be offset by
increased smoking and higher body mass index and blood sugar.

This is a time for renewed commitment.
This is a time to accelerate our work together. This is a time for
action.

In the coming weeks and months, we'll
receive additional research requests. We'll provide strong support for
people facing Alzheimer's as well as their families and caregivers.
And we'll continue advocating for research funding and health and
safety. We will also continue to provide care and support resources
through our 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900) and alz.org.

All of that and more depends on your
support. Can I count on you today?
