Strap on your running/walking shoes and join Team Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), University of Queensland (UQ) in raising vital funds for brain research at this year's Bridge to Brisbane.

This fantastic event is sponsored by the Index Group to help raise awareness and funds for MND research at the Queensland Brain Institute. All funds raised support the Ross Maclean Fellowship, which was established in 2004 by the late Ross Maclean and his family to raise funds to fight this devastating disease.

The Queensland Brain Institute is inviting their fundraising heroes, their supporters and members of the community to visit and learn about research into how exercise and a healthy diet impact the brain.

Please join us at the 2019 Peter Goodenough Memorial Lecture presented by Dr Norman Swan, multi-award winning producer and broadcaster, and current producer and presenter of the Health Report on ABC Radio.
