Don't miss your chance to double your impact on work that could change the lives of millions of women all over the world.

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. A generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous has pledged to match all gifts made by April 1, up to $100,000. This remarkable contribution will support critical local family services. Please join us and show your support now, so that we may unlock this critical match challenge. Your gift today can make 2X the impact in the fight to end Alzheimer's and honor every woman impacted by this devastating disease. 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. Your gift can go twice as far in the fight to end Alzheimer's. On behalf of the women impacted by Alzheimer's and the women working tirelessly to end it, thank you. With appreciation, Donna McCullough Chief Mission and Field Operations Officer P.S. In a fight this urgent, we all need to do everything we can. Please contribute now while you can achieve 2X the impact to provide care and support and advance research. Make your best gift now.

Your donation will strengthen our efforts to advance Alzheimer's care, support and research. From face-to-face support to online education programs and promising global research initiatives, your gift makes a difference in the lives of all those affected by Alzheimer's and other dementias in your community and across the world.
