It's day two of Giving Week. Having trouble reading this email? View it in your browser Dear Tushar, Today, on the second day of Giving Week, I'd like you to meet Kristen B. Kristen takes the fight to end Alzheimer's disease just as personally as you do.   “My dad is living with Alzheimer's, and my mom passed away while caring for him,” Kristen says. “The doctor said it was heart failure, but I believe she died of a broken heart. I fight this disease to honor both of my parents.” Kristen B. Today, more than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. Behind many of them there are devastating stories like Kristen's.   That's why your gift to advance our care, support and research efforts is so important.   Our goal for Giving Week is to raise $25,000 for the fight against this disease, and we can't do it without your help. Your Giving Week donation will support our mission to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.   Let's keep fighting to end Alzheimer's, together.   Thank you, Donna McCullough Chief Development Officer   P.S.
