Grassroots Initiative for Brain Empowerment

We chose the brain as our focus, recognizing that nearly half of those reaching 75 will face neurodegenerative diseases. From Alzheimer’s to Parkinson’s, our initiative aims to address these challenges. Join us on this methodical journey inspired by the Framingham Heart Study, where community-led efforts transformed the understanding of heart health.
