Malta University Sports & Leisure have once again teamed up with the University of Malta Research, Innovation and Development Trust (RIDT) to help raise funds for research in ALS. Since its setting up in 2011, the RIDT has managed to raise very close to €2m from the Maltese community towards research in various areas of study at the University of Malta. There is currently no cure for ALS and the disease is terminal; the aim is to raise funds to contribute towards this research so as to help RIDT get closer to combatting the illness.

Friday 14 July will mark the 3rd edition of 'Battle of the Brains', a series of quiz nights set up last May, with a portion of the funds being donated to support this cause. Furthermore a fundraising raffle will also be held on the night from which all proceeds shall be donated to support research in ALS. 

As always the team is looking to make things even bigger and better with more prizes and wackier rounds to get the crowd going. Furthermore, for the first time ever, the event is being held at Saracino's restaurant in Attard where it is doubling up as a Pizza night.

Readers are being invited to team up with friends, families or even colleagues to find out who really is the smartest. Teams should be made up of 3 - 6 people and doors open at 7pm with the event beginning shortly after.

For those who would like to take part, the closing date is Monday 10th July at noon.

Tickets cost €12.00 per person and may be bought online: https://www.universitysportsandleisure.com/product/battle-brains-3rd-edition/

Included in the price is one free drink (choice of a soft drink, a beer or a glass of wine) as well as free flowing water, a plate of cheesy garlic bread and two pizzas per team. Teams of 5/6 people are entitled to an additional pizza should they wish.

More information is available on the event Facebook page (to include link).
