Database of Experts, Advocates and Volunteers
LongeCity plans to turn its members database into a powerful
tool for networking in life extension. We have added new data fields
that will help us and you connect with others, find experts, and bring
your unique skillset to a project that needs it.

Cryonics hardship fundraiser - success!
We are thrilled to report that our matching fundraiser in
support of the cryonics hardship case of Aaaron Winborn
who suffers from motor neuron disease (Lou Gehrig's -ALS) has been successful.
$1100 was raised by our members, which will now be doubled by LongeCity
and send to the Venturists who are busy raising the full amount needed -
they still need your help so if you missed the opportunity to donate at
LongeCity, you can still contribute to this cause on the Venturist
webpage.
