I am grateful for so many things in my life. I am grateful for my family and my friends. I am grateful for the joy that each day brings. I am grateful for the hope of tomorrow and a world without Alzheimer’s disease.
Imagine what that world looks like. A world where our children and grandchildren never know the heartbreak of Alzheimer’s. A world where the power of research has conquered the fear of growing costs associated with this terrible disease. I hope for a world where our memories are ours to keep forever.
I am filled with hope.
Today, others in Illinois are gathering at an event called “Reason to Hope.” An event where donors like you can share all of the reasons why they, too, have hope for a world without Alzheimer’s disease. At the event, an anonymous donor will give $25,000 to the Alzheimer’s Association and challenge others to do the same. This donor is a passionate advocate and an enthusiastic volunteer. He works tirelessly on behalf of our mission because of the impact Alzheimer’s has had on his family, especially his father, who is living with the disease now.
So, I am asking you to rise to the challenge and join with him by making a gift today. Please give as generously as you can. Today is your chance to share hope with all individuals affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
I know that together we can change the face of this disease.
