“But our fundraising component that all of these individuals are doing is also a huge piece of that. So, the money that we raise here today is going to support researchers, for example, at the University of Kentucky, Sanders-Brown Center on Aging. So, people right here in the Bluegrass State in our own backyard that are working on new clinical trials, on different, research opportunities, and all of them are trying to do this to find new cures,” said Wallace.
