Give Hope. Fund Discovery. Change Lives.

Every 2 seconds, someone suffers a stroke. For most, there are no restorative treatments. At the Nih Lab, we are racing to change that, but groundbreaking science is extraordinarily costly, and we can’t do it alone. Federal and state funding are no longer enough to sustain bold, translational research. That is why your support has never been more critical. Your gift today directly fuels new therapies, life-saving discoveries, and hope for millions of survivors.

Why Your Gift Matters

  • Stroke is urgent — every 2 seconds, someone in the world suffers a stroke.
  • Few treatments exist — more than 96% of patients are left without restorative options.Innovation is costly — one week of supplies exceeds $500.
  • You fuel discovery — donations directly support experiments, equipment, and young scientists.
  • Impact is lasting — together, we can transform how stroke is treated for millions worldwide
