DONOR SPOTLIGHT

Leslie Slan, RYT, BLS

This month, we would like to recognize Leslie Slan, RYT, BLS who has been actively involved with ARPF for many years. Leslie said, "I support ARPF as a lifestyle approach to being healthy, particularly the 4 Pillars of Alzheimer’s Prevention. I like to hear about the latest research and the webinars that are offered. After my Brain Longevity Therapy Training, I co-taught with one of my yoga instructors, an Osher adult education 8-week course in Lewes, DE. We also taught a similar 6-week course to Congregants of my Synagogue. I like that I am passing on to others what I was so fortunate to learn."

We are so grateful to Leslie for sharing Brain Longevity with her community and her continued support of ARPF. Read More.
