that day, we have an excellent opportunity to link in the public mind the issue
of AGING with the issue of ANTI-AGING and PRO-LONGEVITY research that is
probably the only means to truly address and ameliorate the problem of aging.</span><br></p><p></p><p><span>People in more

events in support of longevity and longevity research on that day</b>: Invite a few
friends to meet and discuss recent advances in the field; write and publish a
dedicated article or post (preferably in your
national language); contact local media and politicians to try to raise their
interest in the subject.</span><br></p><p><span>There is still time before October
1 and there will be time to do so after that day, but we need to act. We can
celebrate the Longevity Day – all year round!</span></p><p><span>An additional way of promotion is: <b>S</b></span><span><b>upport our petition to celebrate the International Longevity Day during the
