2015 Annual Report
2015 ANNUAL REPORT WHERE WE ARE TODAY In our !ve years since founding UsAgainstAlzheimer’s, we’ve been proud and humbled to serve as tireless advocates for the millions of families that have been impacted by this devastating disease. We’ve set a bold goal — to STOP A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDERS Alzheimer’s disease — and together, we’re making progress. Our power and our purpose continue to grow! Ending Alzheimer’s is our life’s goal. Because of our family’s personal experience with this cruel, relentless disease and on behalf of 5.4 million of our fellow Americans currently suffering from Alzheimer’s, no work could be more important, nor a cure more crucial. In just 5 years, UsAgainstAlzheimer’s has become a force; an unrelenting voice for attention to the disease; a tireless advocate for families dealing with Alzheimer’s; a partner with governments, industry and premier research organizations; a designer and builder of cross-sector partnerships; and a leader in demanding increased focus, cooperation and speed from all players. We work on each of these issues in different ways with different partners, on both a national and international basis. Bottom line: we simply cannot and will not tolerate business-as-usual in pursuit of a cure. It was an incredible year, and none of it would have happened without your generosity, engagement and belief that, together, all of “us” can make a difference and speed a cure. We look forward to working with you in 2016 to put a dagger through the evil heart of Alzheimer’s! George Vradenburg Trish Vradenburg
