Vila Real footballer Pau Torres, currently at Aston Villa Football Club, and his wife Paula Batet have made a donation to research into Alzheimer's disease. Specifically, for the SANALZ project, coordinated by the IBSP-CV Biobank of the Foundation for the Promotion of Health and Biomedical Research of the Valencian Community (Fisabio) of the Regional Ministry of Health and the BIOTRANSFER group of the Predepartmental Unit of Medicine of the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló (UJI).

The SANALZ project, funded by the UNISALUT programme, aims to validate and study the development of a possible diagnostic test for Alzheimer's disease (AD) using proteins in the blood. According to the Alzheimer's Association, more than 800,000 people in Spain and more than 44 million worldwide are affected by this disabling neurodegenerative disease, making it a major global problem.

So far, donors for the project have been recruited mainly at the Hospital de la Magdalena in Castellón, where 100 people have been sampled. This donation will make it possible to expand the network of participating centres and create a research hub for neurodegenerative diseases in the Valencian biobank network, which will be coordinated jointly with the Universitat Jaume I group.

Footballer Pau Torres and his wife Paula Batet have decided to donate the money they received as a wedding present to research into Alzheimer's disease, a cause that is very close to their hearts. Paula Batet explained that her grandmother has suffered from dementia since she was 62 and is now 76 years old. "She could have enjoyed a day as special as our wedding, but the disease of forgetfulness is so cruel. That's why we wanted to donate the money we received to such an important and necessary cause as research into this serious disease. With this donation we received from our family and friends, we can be one step closer to finding a cure for Alzheimer's disease", she said.  
  
You can also donate to research projects at Universitat Jaume I through the UJI Patronage Programme, [www.mecenazgo.uji.es](http://www.mecenazgo.uji.es), by sending an email to [mecenazgo@uji.es](mailto:mecenazgo@uji.es).
