The Lifespan.io and Life Extension Advocacy Foundation (LEAF) volunteers have over the past few years put together and maintained a crowdfunding infrastructure used to successfully raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for rejuvenation research projects. They have carried the message that aging can be effectively treated as a medical condition out to new audiences, expanded our community of supporters, and helped to connect researchers and entrepreneurs to new patrons. The LEAF volunteers are presently running a small fundraiser in search of monthly donors to help expand their present advocacy for the cause of rejuvenation research. If you have been following their efforts for the past few years, I encourage you show your appreciation for all they have done by signing up for a modest monthly donation.

Here at Lifespan.io we are funding research to help extend healthy human lifespan, and thanks to our community here we've done amazing work already: raising over $200,000 for companies and nonprofits working to overcome age-related disease, decrease the period of ill-health during life, and address key societal issues being faced by our aging population. All we've done thus far has been primarily volunteer effort, and we believe we can go so much further with even a modest budget of our own. So we're turning to you, and asking you to stand with us, to #BeTheLifespan, and help us overcome age-related diseases for good. What this means is that we're asking you to be a Lifespan Hero by supporting us with monthly contributions, which will allow us to not only fund more research but also offer amazing community rewards.

In addition to improving our features on this site, we'll create a private networking group for patrons and researches. We'll also begin running a live-streamed journal review, led by our own Dr. Oliver Medvedik, where we'll go through the latest papers with researchers and you, so we all learn together. We'll be able to make awesome collaboration videos with popular creators on services like YouTube to engage the world. This has the power to inform millions of people about the feasibility and desirability of longevity research, and can be a game changer in terms of raising societal awareness. If we can get to $10,000 a month, we'll even start running an annual full-scale longevity conference in New York City, to help make this research truly mainstream. In addition to driving the field forward with increased sharing of information, a stronger presence in NYC will attract private capital, and help build a thriving longevity biotech industry.

Every day over 100,000 people die of age related diseases: Alzheimer's, heart disease, cancer. Together we can fight this; together we can be Heroes.
