A group of 78 UT Austin students known as the Legacy Council Rookies, part of the Darrell K Royal Research Fund for Alzheimer’s Disease, have raised $35,000 to benefit the Fund, which will be directly granted to Texas researchers searching for a cure to the life alerting disease. Co-chaired by 3 seniors (Rob Montgomery, Jenna McGaw, and Allyson Poujol), these students came together in a matter of two months to meet their individual goal of raising $500 by April 20th, 2017.
