From Champions for the Cause –Harry Johns, Alzheimer’s Association President and CEO

The Alzheimer’s Association has been moving the cause forward for 27 years. We’ve been the leader in Alzheimer care and support since those origins and have

played a significant leadership role in fostering research in understanding the disease, its potential treatments and cure. In 2007, we moved the cause by building public awareness and knowledge, encouraging a national voice for those with the disease and focusing our mission on reaching more people who need our support and accelerating progress to end the disease.

Indeed, we believe that the ultimate path of Alzheimer’s is that of a controllable disease. Better diagnostic tools to detect the disease at earlier stages — even before symptoms appear — and disease-modifying drugs are closer than ever before. Our staff worked closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to improve the drug approval process by including input from those living with dementia and their care partners. Also during the year, we advanced a pilot program to encourage greater participation in clinical research studies.

While much work remains to slow or stop the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, the advancement of science increasingly gives us hope. Our organization has been part of nearly every major advance in Alzheimer research since our formation in 1982, and we have committed millions of dollars in grants to promising research projects. To foster the field of study, we host science conferences that are the primary knowledge-sharing forums for thousands of the world’s leading Alzheimer researchers.

As significant as our organization’s achievements have been, we must still do more — as soon as possible. We are driven by the reality facing the more than 5 million people estimated to have Alzheimer’s today and the millions more who will face the disease tomorrow. Our progress energizes our staff, volunteers, donors and sponsors to move ever faster to achieve our vision: a world without Alzheimer’s.
