Information On Donating Someone's Brain After They Pass From Alzheimer's To Be Used For Medical Research

A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭
Arvada, CO

Has anyone on here checked into donating the LO's brain to medical science when they have passed away?
What are the steps? Would you recommend it?
Have a "day".

The harvard brain bank is also a good option. Its a rather involved process but to me, it’s worth it. You can look it up online (just hoogle it) and start the process. I have it all set up when the time comes. I cant let us have gone through this without doing all we can to prevent those behind us from hsving to.
