Dear John,
This week, we celebrate International
Women's Day. On Tuesday, when we recognize the achievements of women
who are changing the world, here's something that hasn't changed
- women in their 60s are more than twice as likely to develop
Alzheimer's disease over the rest of their lives as they are to
develop breast cancer.
Let me give you a few other facts
about women and Alzheimer's:
* Almost two-thirds of Americans living with Alzheimer's disease
are women.
* More than 60% of Alzheimer's and dementia caregivers are women.
* 19% of women Alzheimer's caregivers had to quit work, either to
become a caregiver or because they struggled to balance
caregiving with their jobs.
Behind these statistics are mothers,
daughters, sisters, nieces, colleagues and friends. Maybe even someone
you know.
Ahead of a day that honors the love
and support of women, you can double your impact on our work to
enhance care and support and accelerate the research that could change
the lives of millions of women all over the world.

Women have long been at the center of
the Alzheimer's disease crisis - both because they're diagnosed
with dementia at disproportionate rates and because the responsibility
of caring for someone living with dementia often falls to women.
Research shows that women take on more
Alzheimer's caregiving tasks than their male counterparts. Women
caregivers also experience higher levels of depression and impaired
health than men.
When you make a generous gift in honor
of International Women's Day today, you'll send a powerful message
about your commitment to offering help and hope to

all impacted by Alzheimer's - particularly the women in our
community and our lives.
While many of the statistics
concerning women and Alzheimer's are troubling, the good news is that
doctors, researchers and scientists - many of whom are women
- are also making a profound impact in the world of Alzheimer's
and dementia research.
John, for
International Women's Day, I hope you'll honor a woman in your life
and make a generous gift now, while your donation can still go TWICE
as far to 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.
