Parkinson's Research Needs You

Did you know that uncovering what's inside you could lead to new Parkinson's therapies? Parkinson's is a complex disease, so the more we know about it, the better equipped we'll be to help millions of people living with it. The Michael J. Fox Foundation launched Fox Insight -- an online clinical study -- to learn more about life with Parkinson's and accelerate breakthroughs by capturing the experiences of people with and without the disease. Through a collaboration with consumer genetics company 23andMe, Fox Insight participants with Parkinson's can access the 23andMe Health + Ancestry Service at no cost. Adding genetic information to the study can provide scientists with a more holistic understanding of the disease. Over 29,000 people have already enrolled, but Fox Insight is just getting started. The study aims to recruit hundreds of thousands of people to contribute data. By joining together with other Fox Insight participants, you can help find better treatments for Parkinson's.    If you're already enrolled in Fox Insight, we thank you for sharing your experiences and helping to shape the future of Parkinson's research. P.S. Have a family member or friend with Parkinson's who might be interested in joining Fox Insight? Please forward them this email!
