Dear Friend,

I want you to be one of the first to know! Today, a leading scientific journal published a paper about an exciting new gene that we at Project MinE hope will lead to promising therapeutics in the future.

The gene, NEK1, was discovered by a team of more than 80 researchers in 11 countries who contribute to Project MinE’s global gene sequencing effort. NEK1 is now known as one of the most common genetic contributors of ALS and gives scientists an exciting new target for drug development.

Since Project MinE received a $1 million grant from The ALS Association in the wake of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, we have been able to expand our operation significantly. This new discovery is a direct result of your generosity and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Thanks to you, Project MinE and its contributing researchers are getting closer to a treatment for this disease!

Sincerely,

Bernard Muller
Co-Founder, Project MinE
