Aubrey de Grey is the driving force behind SENS – Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence. What that means is organized and comprehensive medical research to deal with the problems caused by aging. If you donate money to any kind of charity, consider SENS.
If you're interested in SENS, read Aubrey de Grey's book Ending Aging. I read it and think it's a good book with good arguments (something I don't say lightly, as you can see by the critical scrutiny I've subjected Ann Coulter and others to.)

I have not specifically fact checked *Ending Aging*. After discovering how many misquotes BoI had, I've become more skeptical of books getting stuff right. I'd have to review Ending Aging again now, and look up some citations, to say how good it actually is.
