Neurological disorders are the leading cause of disability and the second leading cause of death worldwide.

At NeuRA, we believe that a future free of brain and nervous system disorders is within reach. Every day, our scientists are making strides towards this vision - and we’d love your help.

Leaving a gift in your Will, no matter how big or small, is an incredibly special way to positively impact the lives of people living with brain and nervous system disorders.

By leaving a gift today, you’ll create a legacy for generations.

Why leave a gift in your will?

• Help to make advances in medical research possible
• Contribute to discovering, conquering and curing some of the most devastating diseases and disorders that currently have no cure
• Make a tangible difference to translating medical discoveries into new diagnostics, preventions and treatments.
