Metheuselah Mouse Prize Passes $50,000

Fight Aging!

Do you want to live a longer life in good health? Simple practices can make some difference, such as exercise or calorie restriction. But over the long haul all that really matters is progress in medicine: building new classes of therapy to repair and reverse the known root causes of aging. The sooner these treatments arrive, the more lives will be saved. Find out how to help »

The Methuselah Mouse Prize has passed the $50,000 mark! We're all very excited to see this anti-aging research prize doing so well in such a short time since the official launch last year. The prize total also benefits from a further $300,000 in pledges thanks to The Three Hundred. (You may recall that I have already touted the value of joining The Three Hundred to help the fight to cure aging. Go ahead - you'll be in good company!)

The prize now has more than 100 donors, including such noteworthy people as futurist Ray Kurzweil and Human Genome Sciences founder William A. Haseltine.

Viewing the donor list at the Methuselah Foundation website, you can read thought-provoking comments by people from all walks of life who have stepped up to make a contribution. Have you thought about the future of your health and longevity today?
