So often, mothers put the needs of others ahead of their own. Working in or outside of the home, raising children, caring for aging parents — nobody symbolizes “multi-tasking” better than the modern-day mom.
Unfortunately, almost 65 percent of people with Alzheimer’s disease today are women — they are our mothers, grandmothers and sisters. And without effective treatments, the number of women with the disease will grow to 8 million by mid-century – these women will be our daughters.
This Mother’s Day, make a donation to the Alzheimer’s Association® in honor of your mom or another special mother in your life. Your gift will help fight Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of vital research and essential support programs and services. Make a donation and send an e-card to let her know just how much she means to you.
When you think about Mother’s Day gifts, consider making one that will benefit future generations of women. Please give as generously as you can.
Thank you, Angela Geiger
