Help ALFA send 1 million signatures to the President and Congress urging them to take action against this terrible disease.

• According to data from the 2010 National Survey of Residential Care Facilities, 42% of assisted living residents live with Alzheimer?s disease or other dementia.

• Alzheimer?s disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and the only cause of death among the top 10 that cannot be prevented, cured, or even slowed.

• 5.4 million Americans are living with Alzheimer?s disease.

I am committed to stopping Alzheimer?s disease. I call on the President and Congress to dedicate all resources necessary to fulfill the commitment of the National Plan to Address Alzheimer?s Disease:

• Prevent and effectively treat Alzheimer?s disease by 2025

• Strengthen the quality of care and expand support for people with Alzheimer?s disease and their families

• Enhance public awareness and engagement about the devastating consequences of this disease

I stand with the 5 million of my fellow Americans who are living with Alzheimer?s disease and their 15 million family caregivers. We are united in the belief that ending this ravaging disease must be a national priority. Stopping Alzheimer?s disease is scientifically possible, economically necessary, and morally imperative.

The President and Congress must act immediately and decisively to accelerate our investment to stop Alzheimer?s disease.
