Read the 2016 Facts and Figures report. Having trouble reading this email? View it on your browser     Dear Tushar, Every 66 seconds, another person in the United States will develop Alzheimer's disease. That means that by the time you read this email, another family's life has been changed by Alzheimer's, painting an uncertain future for their financial, physical and emotional well-being.       Get involved. Help end Alzheimer's.     Because you care about people living with Alzheimer's, it's important that I share the latest statistics about this escalating health crisis with you. The just-released Alzheimer's Association 2016 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures report sheds further light on the Alzheimer's epidemic. Critical new statistics revealed include: Every 66 seconds, someone in the U.S. develops Alzheimer's. By mid-century, someone in the U.S. will develop the disease every 33 seconds. Nearly half (48 percent) of family and friends of people with Alzheimer's are jeopardizing their financial stability to afford dementia-related expenses. For some, this means drawing from savings or retirement funds; for others this may mean sacrificing basic needs such as food, transportation and medical care. Nearly two out of three people incorrectly believe that Medicare helps pay for nursing home care, or were unsure whether it did — leaving many families unprepared for the personal financial impact of Alzheimer's disease. The new information in this report is a call to action for all of us who support the Alzheimer's Association. Now more than ever, the world looks to us to address this epidemic by providing education and support to the millions who face dementia every day, while advancing vital research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure. Please help us spread awareness by sharing the facts today. Thank you,     Donna McCullough Chief Development Officer             The Alzheimer's Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support and research.
