To aid research and to help find a cure for ALS, Mike decided early on to donate his brain to the University of Miami's Brain Endowment Bank which is one of six National Institute of Health Neurobiobanks whose mission is to support medical and scientific researchers who study the human brain in search of better medications and treatments and ultimately a cure for brain diseases. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Team Gleason Foundation at teamgleason.org or to the St. Paul's athletic fund.
