To this end, BBRC's research is directed towards the primary and secondary prevention of Alzheimer's disease, which is possible thanks to the participation of thousands of people who voluntarily contribute to scientific studies to ensure that, in the near future, there will be far fewer sick people.The Pasqual Maragall Foundation is a private non-profit entity. Its financial resources come from philanthropic donations from entities and companies, as well as from an extensive network of more than 80,000 members who contribute to funding the research.
