Your gift supports our unique approach.

Brain diseases and disorders are interconnected, sharing common biological mechanisms. The American Brain Foundation is unique because, rather than funding research on just one disease, we invest in research across the spectrum of brain diseases and disorders.

Breakthroughs in one disease lead to chains of discoveries in others. By unlocking funding and investing in research across the whole brain, we can make today’s unthinkable a cure for tomorrow.

CURE ONE, CURE MANY

Cure One, Cure ManyThe stor y o f Rob in Wi l l i ams

Lewy Body Dementia & Parkinson’s

Susan Schneider WilliamsVice ChairAmerican Brain Foundation

The American Brain Foundation’s focus—when we cure one brain disease, we will cure many—is exactly what we need to make advancements in brain disease research. Robin was diagnosed with both Parkinson’s Disease and Lewy body dementia, and these two diseases have very closely related pathology—that is, they both have Lewy bodies in the brain. In the search to understand the common mechanisms by which Lewy bodies are produced and neurons subsequently degenerate, researchers could end up unlocking a cure for multiple diseases. As Vice Chair, I will help advance the ABF’s mission to ensure researchers are getting the funds they need to go after these brain diseases.”

Meet ZoeAt 15, Zoe has been navigating Tourette syndrome for eight years. “I had to figure out at a young age how my emotions affect my tics, from good to awful ways. It has been frustrating to figure out on my own and learn to deal with. This was the first moment in my life where my parents couldn’t fix something for me.”

But Zoe isn’t alone on this journey. Your support of the American Brain Foundation is instrumental in providing research opportunities for some of the best and brightest investigative researchers.

What does Cure One, Cure Many mean to Zoe?

“When people put the support, effort, and love into learning more about brain disease. When we all come together, we change the world for good with one cure at a time.”
