This year, Cure Alzheimer’s Fund is celebrating 20 years of funding research with the highest potential to prevent, slow or reverse Alzheimer’s disease. Over that time, we have distributed more than $210 million to support groundbreaking research by extraordinary scientists in labs around the world.
This milestone is truly a testament to our donor community, without whom we could not accelerate the science that is going to end the burden of this disease. All of us at CureAlz—our Board, Trustees, supporters, staff and funded researchers—are determined to uncover every potential solution to this unforgiving disease that impacts more than 6.9 million people in the United States and millions more worldwide.
Over the last 20 years, our funded researchers have made many significant discoveries in the most promising areas of Alzheimer’s science. Our new publication shares some of these important discoveries around the neuroimmune response to Alzheimer’s pathology and its impact on Alzheimer’s neurodegeneration. It is because of the outstanding discoveries made by our researchers that we have so much hope.
It has been my great honor to be a part of the solution to Alzheimer’s disease—and I am determined to continue to follow the science until it leads us to a cure. I am grateful to every donor and advocate who is a partner in fighting this disease. Together, we have created great momentum. If you recently made a contribution to Cure Alzheimer’s Fund, thank you. If not, please consider making one today. One hundred percent of all general donations go to support our research.
Respectfully,
Meg Smith
