ideas and actions for longer, healthier lives
"We are on the verge of a revolution in medicine: understanding, treating, and ultimately preventing the causes of degenerative aging. But medical revolutions only happen if we all stand up in support of funding and research. We did it for cancer. We're doing it for Alzheimer's. We can do it for aging - and create an era of longer, healthier lives!"

You Can Make a Difference

The serious, scientific fight to cure aging and age-related illness depends on successful funding efforts and hard work by researchers - but this is only possible in an environment of widespread public support and understanding. You can help to make this happen! Take a little time to click on the "Take Action!" buttons on this page. Read the action items and see how you can spend a few minutes to help ensure that we all enjoy a longer, healthy future.

10,000 People To Aid Longevity Science
Take Action!

SENS Foundation would like to draw your attention to an exciting initiative organised by a group of our supporters. The 10,000 people, $1 million to defeat aging Cause on Facebook asks each member to pledge just $100, which becomes payable once a total of 10,000 individuals have made the same pledge. Those 10,000 donations will provide SENS Foundation with $1 million of additional funding, which will support our critical research into defeating the diseases and disabilities of aging. Over the course of 2010 we intend to increase funding to our LysoSENS program and ramp up work on MitoSENS, as well as continuing to pursue our work on atherosclerosis, immunosenescence, and macular degeneration.
