ALZHEIMER'S IS THE 7TH BIGGEST KILLER IN THE WORLD, AND THERE IS NO CURE.
SCIENTISTS AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY HAVE DISCOVERED LINKS BETWEEN STALLS - CLOGGED BLOOD VESSELS IN THE BRAIN, & ALZHEIMER'S.
STALLS CAN REDUCE OVERALL BLOOD FLOW IN THE BRAIN BY 30% - SIMILAR TO A HEADRUSH WHEN STANDING UP TOO QUICKLY.
IF WE COULD PREVENT OR REMOVE STALLS WE COULD FIND THE FIRST EVER ALZHEIMER'S TREATMENT.
BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Read more about the science behind Stall Catchers here.
WORKING TOGETHER, STALL CATCHERS CAN DO IN ONE HOUR WHAT TAKES RESEARCHERS ONE WEEK IN THE LAB!
ANYONE CAN DO IT!
