Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and the third leading cause of death in Washington — Washington has the fourth highest Alzheimer’s death rate in the nation.

More than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050.

Make a donation to help the Alzheimer’s Association advance research into methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure for Alzheimer’s.

For the millions already affected by the disease, the association offers care, education, support and resources in communities nationwide.
