Eric Ferus Memorial Fund

Checks can be made payable to the Prechter Bipolar Research Fund/ Eric Ferus Memorial Fund and send to the following address: University of Michigan Depression Center Prechter Bipolar Research Fund Attn: Courtney Metzger/ Eric Ferus Memorial Fund 4250 Plymouth Road, Rm. 1332 Ann Arbor, MI 48109

Every dollar received as part of the challenge will fuel the search for the specific genes that make a person vulnerable to developing bipolar disorder, and that cause the disease to run in some families. To make a gift, call (734)764-6161 and indicate for the Eric Ferus Memorial fund.

Individuals between
the ages of 18 and 65 who have already been diagnosed with bipolar
disorder and would like to learn how they might contribute their own
DNA to take part in the study may call
1-877 UM-GENES (1-877-864-3637)
or e-mail bpresearch@umich.edu. Family members of people with bipolar disorder, and healthy individuals without bipolar disorder, are also able to volunteer.
