Parkinson's Disease Research

A few years ago, my Dad (who also happens to be one of my favorite people in the world) was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. The Mayo Clinic defines Parkinson's as a "progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by the nerves". There is currently no cure and watching his symptoms progress has been very difficult for me and my family.

My brother Ben and I are raising money to benefit The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, and any donation will help make an impact. For every $100 raised, we will be running one mile on Sunday, November 5th, up to 26 miles. Thank you for your contribution to this cause - it truly means so much to us.

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.

We believe without fail that our goal is within reach - but we can't get there without your support. Please join the fight today. More on the Michael J. Fox Foundation here.
