What is
Alzhei-mer's
Disease?

Alzheimer’s is a progressive brain disease that interferes with memory, reasoning, behavior, and motor skills. Symptoms of Alzheimer’s worsen over time—and the disease is always fatal. In addition to the emotional burden placed on patients and caregivers, Alzheimer’s places enormous financial strain on families and healthcare systems.

Research is the only path to a cure. At Cure Alzheimer’s Fund, we contribute 100% of the donations we receive directly to the research we need to end this disease.

It’s time to #facethedisease.

Alzheimer’s disease isn’t just a handful of elder patients forgetting where they put their keys. It’s the 250,000 children between the ages of 8 and 18 caring for an adult with Alzheimer’s. It’s the 18 billion unpaid caregiving hours provided to Alzheimer’s patients by family and friends each year—and the $280 billion the disease cost the US government in 2018.

It’s the fact that our brains can start to develop Alzheimer’s nearly two decades before outward symptoms appear.

Alzheimer’s disease isn’t the natural result of aging, and it isn’t some bogeyman waiting far off in the future. Alzheimer’s is a disease; and it is here; and it is now.

Here and now, you can take action to help stop it.
