Donations help fund research for new therapies and medicines that help my friends like Keith Newman, Jack Aiello, Patti Rodriguez, and many others live longer active lives. Keith is celebrating his daughter's engagement, Jack is a brand new grandfather, and Patti ran a half marathon in under 2 hours last weekend! (Their photos are in the margin.) Please help them and many others live longer lives, donate today.

Many thanks to those of you who have donated, you are making a huge difference in this world!
