I can't speak authoritatively, but I think testing would have to be put on hold.

The $100,000 for the prize fund is pledged specifically for when the prize is won, so there's no easy way to change that.

I'm one of the volunteers at the Brain Preservation Foundation. Although sooner is always better, there isn't a specific reason why now is better than 2 weeks in the future. If you need the money for an emergency fund, I'd wait to donate.
