This Just In: The Fox Focus on Parkinson’s Fall/Winter Edition

The Fox Focus 2020 Fall/Winter

From science to solutions, The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s (MJFF) 2020 Fall/Winter newsletter, The Fox Focus on Parkinson’s , is HERE. During these times of uncertainty, maintaining momentum in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is our priority. Our feature story details progress that’s been made possible, thanks to you. Download this edition and learn how MJFF and the Parkinson’s community are collaborating and connecting to problem-solve, adapt and move forward together, including:   + What’s Your Parkinson’s Vocabulary? — An MJFF-funded study explores how people with PD talk about their disease. Understanding patients’ descriptions of these bothersome symptoms can lead to better conversations, tools and care, and may help inform trial design, getting us to new treatments faster.   + Landmark Study Looks Ahead to New Partners and Future Breakthroughs — MJFF’s Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative is looking forward to a seismic expansion in 2021: tripling enrollment to add to the wealth of insights informing game-changing discoveries.   + The Power of “You” in Parkinson’s Public Policy — A grassroots community of advocates is actively working to ensure government policies accelerate the development of Parkinson’s disease therapies and increase quality of life for the Parkinson’s community.   We’re proud to be part of this resilient community and proud of our supporters like you. Thanks for your dedication, now more than ever. -The Michael J. Fox Foundation staff P.S. You play a critical part in our work. Donate HERE to keep us on track toward a world without Parkinson’s.
