The Josephine and John Marr Alzheimer’s Research Fund at Brigham and Women’s Hospital is a catalyst for Alzheimer’s prevention research. There is more hope than ever, but our work is not done. You can support these efforts when you join the Marr Fund team. This October, for the tenth year, we’ll participate in the Maine Marathon, Half Marathon, and Relay race. Join us in person or participate in a virtual event from anywhere in the world.
