More than 55 million people worldwide live with Alzheimer's
World Alzheimer's Day, which takes place every Sept. 21, is a global effort to raise awareness and challenge the stigma around Alzheimer's disease and other dementia. Join the Alzheimer's Association as we recognize the more than 55 million people across the world who are affected by this terrible disease. Whether you fundraise for the cause, share information about Alzheimer's or talk to a loved one about dementia, you can make a difference.
Now we have more reasons than ever to continue the fight
This World Alzheimer's Day marks a historic era in the fight against Alzheimer's. We now have traditionally approved treatments to slow Alzheimer's in the early stages, but there is much more work to do. Day by day, we're making real progress for families facing the disease. We can't stop now. Give today to keep up the momentum. Your gift will help accelerate research and provide care and support to families facing this disease.
