Get ready for the #MIT24 challenge!
On March 12th - you can help us fight neurodegenerative disease by donating any amount.
🗓️On March 12, by giving ANY amount to our two #MIT24 challenges, you can help us make discoveries to fight neurodegenerative diseases (bit.ly/24hour-aging-brain) and build a new initiative to turn lab discoveries into treatments (bit.ly/brain-therapies).
