Welcome

Dear participants, 

Thank you for joining the 2020 Virtual Maine Marathon to support the Josephine and John Marr Alzheimer’s Research Fund at the Brigham. 

The philanthropic dollars you raise are instrumental in propelling our Alzheimer’s prevention research forward. Your partnership provides us with the opportunity to collaborate and follow exciting new pathways that would otherwise be stalled until traditional funding sources can be secured. Most importantly, you are helping us change the future for countless patients and families facing this disease.

On behalf of our entire research team, thank you. We remain humbled and honored by your support and we’ll be cheering for you on race day.

With gratitude,

Dennis Selkoe, MD and Reisa Sperling, MD
