The Michael J. Fox Foundation Annual Report 2017 – Roadmaps for Progress | Page 4

The Michael J. Fox Foundation A Note from Michael J. Fox Dear Friend, One of the great gifts of my life is that I've been in a position to take my experience with Parkinson's and combine it with the perspectives and expertise of others to accelerate improved treatments and a cure. In 2017, thanks to your generosity and fierce belief in our shared mission, we moved closer to this goal than ever before. 2017 Annual Report “What matters most isn’t getting diagnosed with Parkinson’s, it’s what you do next. The choices we make after we’re diagnosed can open doors to possibilities you’d never imagine.’’ For helping us put breakthroughs within reach — thank you. With gratitude, —David Iverson, Patient Council Co-Chair 2016–2018 2 3
