Participate in a Research Study or Clinical Trial

Walking, running or biking to end cancer, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis or another disease can be great ways to raise money for causes. But if you can’t, or you want to do more, consider participating in a research study or volunteering for a clinical trial. Whether you’re in good health or not, and regardless of age, your participation could help researchers understand the disease they are studying and get closer to a cure, a treatment, or a way to prevent it.
