DEAR FRIENDS & SUPPORTERS,
Can you imagine a world without Alzheimer’s disease? Can you envision a time and place where no individual or family will be forced to face the challenges of a dementia diagnosis? Does it seem unrealistic, like searching for a single star in a galaxy? According to the Alzheimer’s Association report, Changing the Trajectory of Alzheimer’s Disease: How a Treatment by 2025 Saves Lives and Dollars, meeting the 2025 goal of the national Alzheimer’s plan would reduce the number of individuals affected by the disease by 2.5 million within the first five years of treatment being available. What’s more, the United States could save $220 billion within the first five years of a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Both would have a dramatic impact on the lives of those living with dementia or a related disorder and their caregivers. At the Alzheimer’s Association Delaware Valley Chapter, our daily mission—and what propels us forward—is a world without Alzheimer’s disease. It is imperative that we continue the fight to fund and find a cure and to care passionately and purposefully for those living with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers. When we look up at the proverbial starry sky, we really do see that one star representing the first survivor of Alzheimer’s disease. With your help, we can make this wish a reality. This Delaware Valley Chapter Annual Report includes a selection of stellar highlights from the past year. We hope it inspires you. Thank you for all you do, every day, to help eradicate Alzheimer’s disease—and please continue to help with your donations, grants, scholarships, bequests and memorials. If we are to fulfill our mission of a world without Alzheimer’s, we certainly need your continued help. Thank you for joining us on our mission to #ENDALZ! Greg Tigani, Board Chair Wendy L. Campbell, President & CEO
