Parkinson's Research Needs You

This weekend, Michael J. Fox appeared on "CBS Sunday Morning" to share his experience living publicly with Parkinson's disease and his vision for the Foundation -- to enable patients and researchers to work together toward a cure. The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (MJFF) and 23andMe launched Fox Insight (foxinsight.org) -- a groundbreaking collaboration to build a large, diverse cohort of Parkinson's patients and control volunteers providing researchers with critical insight into the lived experience, genetics and variability of Parkinson's disease. More than 20,000 participants are now taking part in this online study and helping create the most holistic picture of Parkinson's disease ever assembled. But Fox Insight is just getting started. It is open to anyone 18 or older worldwide, with or without Parkinson's disease, and aims to recruit tens or even hundreds of thousands of patients to contribute data. The more participants who take part, the faster the study could lead to new understanding of disease and potential new treatments. Fox Insight needs you. Visit foxinsight.org today and be part of amplifying the patient voice in research and care to illuminate potential new pathways to breakthroughs. P.S. If you're already enrolled in Fox Insight, thank you for sharing your experiences and helping to shape the future of Parkinson's research!
