Another Pledge

A new pledge was received today from Tad Hog who wrote:

I want to thank Tad for showing us how much he values his own life and
the lives of others who seek longer life spans.

This brings the total of funds pledged toward or being spent on research
directly related to the Prometheus Project goals, to $764,600 per year
for ten years. I remind you that as of my March 12 announcement the
Prometheus Project funding goal is now $1.5 million per year. We have
come along way, we are over half way there, but we still have a long way
to go.

I also want it to be known that Chris Rasch, one of the new 21st Century
Medicine employees, was one of the early $1000 per year pledgers, but
couldn't then be public about it for fear of the loss of his job in
mainstream cryobiology.

*A Reminder*

The $500 pledger listed below needs someone to join with him to have a
minimum $1000 total pledge.
