Following Brandi Chastain's lead, the U.S. soccer stars said they, too, will make their contributions to science.

All-time leading scorer Abby Wambach and U.S. midfield fixture Megan Rapinoe made their announcements this week at Ohio State, The Lantern reported.
Wambach, 35, said she was following the lead of fellow retired soccer player Brandi Chastain, who said in early March that she planned to donate her brain to concussion research.
