Thank you, Marr Family

Words cannot adequately convey the tremendous benefit that your support has brought to our efforts. Your family knows all too well that Alzheimer’s is a complex disease that scientists are still trying to fully understand. Fortunately, we have the brightest minds in the field working together to unravel the mysteries of the disease and discover how it can be prevented or cured.

This year, I am pleased to share the following updates from investigators Tracy Young-Pearse, PhD, and Rachel Buckley, PhD. Their two areas of exploration offer a pivotal opportunity to further our understanding of the early disease mechanisms behind Alzheimer’s and why some people seem to be naturally resistant to the disease. By investing in this research, you are not only creating a future in which we can stop Alzheimer’s before it starts but providing a source of inspiration and hope for other families facing this devastating disease.

I hope you share my pride in all that we have accomplished together. Thank you for your friendship and constant support. It is your generosity that fuels our purpose and our momentum.
