We must stand together to defeat Alzheimer's.

Dear John, I'm so grateful you're standing with us in the fight against Alzheimer's disease. You play a critical role in helping us achieve our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia. Thank you for your commitment to the millions of people impacted by this devastating disease. Because of that commitment, I want you to be among the first to see our 2022 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures report. This report will provide you with the latest numbers related to the devastating impact Alzheimer's has on our loved ones, caregivers, communities and health care systems. Of course, behind these numbers are real people: mothers, fathers, spouses, colleagues and friends. Perhaps even someone you know. The fact is, half of all Americans know someone living with Alzheimer's or another dementia. Alzheimer's remains an escalating global crisis, and some of the numbers you'll read in this report may be alarming. Currently, one in every three seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another dementia — and the aging of the baby-boom generation will significantly increase the number of people in the United States living with this disease. But you should know we are working every day to accelerate research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure, and continuing to provide care and support to those living with Alzheimer's and their caregivers. Here are some key findings from the 2022 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures report:

As you can see, Alzheimer's is still a real threat to our families, our finances and our future. But we are making advancements every day. With the help of friends like you, we continue to provide much-needed care and support through various resources, including alz.org, care consultations, support groups and education programs. And we are currently investing more than $300 million in more than 920 active best-of-field projects in 45 countries. Together, we're furthering 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. Thank you, John, for standing with us in this important fight and being part of our community. Your support is vital, and I urge you to send a generous gift today. Any amount you donate will help us address the global dementia crisis by providing care and support and accelerating vital research. Thank you again for your generosity and compassion. Sincerely, Donna McCullough Chief Mission and Field Operations Officer P.S. Any amount you send today will truly make a difference for so many as you help enhance care and support and accelerate research. Please give what you can.
