Dear John,

On behalf of myself, the entire
Alzheimer's Association community and the more than 6 million people
living with Alzheimer's in the United States and their over 11 million
caregivers - I want to thank you sincerely and wish you a happy
holiday season and a hope-filled new year.

It isn't only dedicated scientists
working on critical research that make progress possible in the fight
to end Alzheimer's. It's our generous supporters, who ensure that
vital research continues and that care and support is available to
those who need it.

We recently released our Alzheimer's
Association Annual Report, and I want to make sure you have the chance
to see the remarkable impact friends like you make possible.

Thanks to your generous support, we
were able to:

* Provide care and support more than 7.5 million times through
channels including alz.org, care consultations, support groups,
education programs and information.

* Answer more than 220,000 calls through our 24/7 Helpline
(800.272.3900), offering free confidential support and
information to people facing Alzheimer's and all other dementia.
* Invest $70 million in Alzheimer's and dementia research,
including more than $59 million in grants to 253 new scientific
investigations.
* Advocate for an increase in Alzheimer's and dementia research at
the National Institutes of Health (NIH) of $300 million,
bringing federal funding to $3.2 billion annually.

The last two years have been a
challenging time for many of us. And they've been particularly
difficult for those living with Alzheimer's disease and their
caregivers who've dealt with increased isolation and decreased access
to social support and community resources due to the pandemic. But
we've never turned away from our crucial work, and you've helped make
our unwavering commitment possible.

I also want to mention that while this
time of year can be joyful, it can also be painful for those who are
missing their loved ones, including those affected by Alzheimer's. If
this is true for you and your family, we are here for you.

We're available, through our free 24/7
Helpline (800.272.3900), all day, every day - even during the
holiday season. And our website, alz.org, is always available with
helpful resources like our virtual support groups and

ALZConnected®, an online community for everyone touched by
Alzheimer's. If you or your family should ever need support,
information or guidance, don't hesitate to call or reach out, any hour
of the day.

The more we support each other, the
stronger we all are. Thank you for standing with us and supporting 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's been a challenging year, but
we've still achieved so much together. However, our work must
continue. For this reason, all of us at the Alzheimer's Association
are deeply grateful to you for your generosity, commitment and
extraordinary compassion.

Best wishes and happy holidays to you
and yours. Together, we can end Alzheimer's.

Sincerely,

Donna McCullough

Chief Mission and Field Operations
Officer
