Since World Alzheimer's Day was first observed more than a decade ago, we've made great strides toward our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia. But there is still more to do. For all the people affected, including all those caregivers giving so tirelessly, we must stand together and stay committed to this fight. That is why, in recognition of World Alzheimer's Day, a generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous has issued us a challenge: raise $200,000 by September 21, World Alzheimer's Day, and they'll match it.

You're committed to 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. But we can't just hope for a cure. We need people like you, from our caring community, to take action and make your first gift. [Please give today.]( [Donate Now]( World Alzheimer's Day is when we focus on promoting awareness of, and raising essential support for, our fight to end Alzheimer's disease — an escalating global health crisis and fatal disease that more than 6 million Americans are now living with. Not everyone knows how widespread this terrible disease is — or how costly it is, both financially and emotionally. But the numbers make the scale of this challenge clear: - Among Americans over 65, 1 out of every 9 is living with Alzheimer's. - More than 11 million Americans provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer's or another dementia. - This year alone, Alzheimer's and other dementias will cost the United States an estimated $355 billion. Your support during our [World Alzheimer's Day $200,000 Match Challenge]( can help so many impacted by Alzheimer's, and your gift can have TWICE the impact in our efforts to provide critical care, support and advance research. During our recognition of World Alzheimer's Day, I've been sharing the story of Ricci, who was diagnosed with younger-onset Alzheimer's in 2019, and Andy, her husband and care partner. Their lives have changed in so many ways since Ricci's diagnosis, but their strength and partnership are inspirations to us all. As Ricci says: "While Andy always expected to take care of his parents, we certainly did not expect that he would be caring for me today. Although there was a big learning curve, as for any spouse, Andy cares for me with the utmost patience and love. He helped me manage my career while I was still working, and he is by my side as we navigate our Alzheimer's journey." [Donate Now]( Alzheimer's is a journey.
