Alzheimer's awareness venture breaks world record

ST. LOUIS — At Busch Stadium, 1,202 brains were better than one.

Alzheimer's Association volunteers took to the field Saturday to set the Guinness World Record for the largest human image of a brain.

Over 1,000 participants gathered to recreate the image for Alzheimer's awareness. The Alzheimer's Association Greater Missouri Chapter partnered with Edward Jones, a financial services firm, to execute the project.

Dressed in bright colored ponchos, the participants outlined the different parts of the brain in center field.

A representative with Guinness World Records was present to witness the event.

And in an array of color, the record for largest human image of a brain was set in St. Louis.
