The urgent need to address diseases of the aging brain such as Alzheimer's disease has inspired an Institute-wide call to action at MIT: the Aging Brain Initiative (ABI), a powerful collaboration across MIT—neuroscientists, biologists, computer scientists, clinicians, economists, and engineers—to pursue a new approach to stopping the breakdown of the brain as it ages.
Your support for the Aging Brain Initiative during the MIT 24-Hour Challenge can have additional impact, thanks to a special challenge gift from Priscilla King Gray, wife of former MIT president Paul Gray.
If 75 donors give to the Aging Brain Initiative on March 11, she will make a gift of $7,500. If an additional 25 donors give to the Aging Brain Initiative that day, she will make an additional gift of $2,500.
