ABOUT US
Our dynamic community is essential to our mission to end Parkinson’s and
provide better treatments for those living with the disease today. There are
many ways to get involved, from amplifying the patient voice on Capitol
Hill to sharing PD resources on social media or organizing a fundraising
event. Help us reach a cure in the ways that work best for you.
The Michael J. Fox Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease through
$
an aggressively funded research agenda and to ensuring the development of improved
therapies for those living with Parkinson’s today. MJFF publishes The Fox Focus on Parkinson’s
twice a year, including an interactive version. To change your subscription preferences, email
