In May, 2012 Racing the Planet, Jordan will take place. I am grateful to have the opportunity to register for such an amazing event and to use my fortune of good health to fundraise and support a wonderful cause. I believe strongly in volunteerism and supporting worthwhile causes and have chosen to support the Davey Fund for Brain Research. The Davey Fund for Brain Research was created by George Davey (former head of the Alberta Treasury Branch) and donated to facilitate scientists in the Department of Psychiatry and Centre for Neuroscience at the University of Alberta. Money donated to this fund is 100% dedicated to support research. The research supported by the Davey Fund is dedicated to understanding brain function and how we can better treat brain diseases including stroke, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and neuropsychiatric diseases including depression and schizophrenia. Being able to assist the brilliant minds conducting research into better understanding the brain will ultimately benefit us all. For more information on the Department of Psychiatry and Centre for Neuroscience at the University of Alberta visit their websites at http://psychiatry.med.ualberta.ca and http://www.neuroscience.ualberta.ca .
The fundraising events I have held are now completed and I am proud to say my fundraising resulted in $3000 being donated for research. If you would still like to make a donation, you can do so through the University Foundation at the University of Alberta by following this link. https://secure.e2rm.com/registrant/startup.aspx?eventid=41184 . When selecting the fund for your donation, please select the Dorothy and George Davey Fund. Tax receipts will be issued.
Thank you for your support!
