Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s Disease Overview

Today, 18 million cases of Alzheimer’s disease have been reported worldwide By 2025, the number of Alzheimer’s disease cases is expected to nearly double to 34 million.

After more than 100 years of research, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias still challenge scientists. Although several FDA-approved drugs are on the market today that treat the symptoms, none affect the underlying disease process. More needs to be done. Scientists are making measurable progress, and there is hope. We need your help in the search for Alzheimer’s disease drugs.

1 out of 3 individuals will be affected by Alzheimer's Disease by the age of 80.
