It’s 2016. We’re stepping up the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.
In 2016, we’re saying “no more” to Alzheimer’s disease. We accomplished a great deal in 2015. Now we need your help to keep up this incredible momentum.
With your support in 2015, we:
- Successfully lobbied Congress to support a historic funding increase of $350 million for Alzheimer’s research, and our advocates were instrumental in the passage of the Alzheimer’s Accountability Act.
Give to the 2016 Annual Fund to fight Alzheimer’s.
Improve lives today, support hope for tomorrow.
- Released the 2015 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report, which revealed that less than half of seniors diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or their caregivers report being told of the diagnosis by a health care provider, driving the national conversation about this disease forward while raising critical awareness.
- Continued to fund an ongoing clinical trial conducted by the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer’s Network (DIAN) for people with a type of early-onset Alzheimer’s.
- Launched The Imaging Dementia — Evidence for Amyloid Scanning (IDEAS) Study to determine the clinical usefulness and value in diagnosing Alzheimer’s and other dementias using brain positron emission tomography (PET).
- Provided care and support services for millions of people affected by Alzheimer’s.
These are just a few of the many accomplishments you helped make possible in the past year. These achievements improve the quality of life for people living with Alzheimer’s and give hope to millions that we can pave the way for a future without Alzheimer’s. But until we end this disease, we have to keep fighting. And we need your support.
You can ensure that we maintain the momentum into 2016 by helping us raise $500,000 in January. Will you help us reach our goal?
The 2016 Annual Fund is one of our most important fundraising drives this year. Your gift will advance research to end Alzheimer’s and provide support and services to the millions of Americans living with the disease.
