THE FOX FOCUS... ROCKING AND LAUGHING FOR A CURE This past November, 1,000 MJFF supporters filled the Waldorf Astoria New York ballroom for a night of special performances at A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s, the Foundation’s annual gala. Music legend John Fogerty joined Denis Leary, David Letterman and others in lending their talents to help raise more than $5 million to support research. To date, Funny Thing has raised more than $65 million to help speed a cure for Parkinson’s. MIKE COPPOLA / GETTY IMAGES ANN BILINGSLEY Clockwise from top left: John Fogerty and Michael J.
