Sunday, October 6th will be the 10th Year of the Marr Fund Team and the Josephine and John Marr Alzheimer's Research Fund helps advance novel and early-stage research aimed at preventing Alzheimer’s disease. 

Thanks to all the support for the Marr Fund Dr. Reisa Sperling and her team at the Brigham were able to confirm that Alzheimer’s begins 20 years or more before the onset of symptoms. The fund has also enabled Dr. Sperling to launch global Alzheimer’s clinical prevention trials to help us learn more about this devastating disease—and find a way to stop it in its tracks. You can read more about the research here: bwhgiving.org/marr-fund.

Over the last TEN years, the Marr Fund team has made significant contributions to these efforts, raising more than $2 million through the Maine Marathon event itself, and serving as a catalyst for many millions more in additional support. 

Would you consider supporting my 2024 fundraiser—and help us further Alzheimer’s prevention research? It is faster and easier than ever to make a tax-deductible donation to this great cause. 

Thank you for joining me in this fight to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Together we can make a difference—now and for future generations.

Sincerely,

Lisa & Bill
