In lieu of flowers, my family asks that the money to go towards Parkinson's Research. We have been affiliated with this foundation since grandpa was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2014.

Our grandfather was 1 out of 5 million people worldwide that have been diagnosed with Parkinson's. We have seen and learned some of Parkinson's symptoms over the last few years just through him. It is a disease that surely needs curing. Despite Grandpa having Parkinson's, he always spent time with the people he loved, always could make anyone laugh and never missed out on watching a sports game.

In advance, we want to thank all our family and friends for your love and support. We KNOW that one day they will find a cure, and we know (as well as grandpa) that your donation has helped find it.




Here is some information about Parkinson's:

Five million people worldwide are living with Parkinson's disease, a chronic, degenerative neurological disorder. In the United States, 60,000 new cases will be diagnosed this year alone. There is no known cure for Parkinson's disease. But through your support of Team Fox, you can help change this. There is no known cure.

Team Fox is the grassroots community fundraising program at The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (MJFF). MJFF accelerates high-impact science through smart risk taking and problem solving with a commitment to urgency and efficiency. We are of thousands of people around the globe who are turning their passions into Team Fox fundraisers to help them speed a cure for Parkinson's. When you give today, 100 percent of Team Fox proceeds go straight to MJFF research programs.


With love- The Mihalko/Butler & Knoechel Families
