My mother lived with Parkinson’s Disease for over 23 years. She gave her all in the fight and was proving doctors wrong until the end! She is a true testament to what optimism and determination can do in the face of Parkinson’s. She didn’t just live, she thrived and she was joyful. She lived a purposeful life even until her last breath. Her life was worth fighting for and had purpose regardless of any limitations. She was proof that love empowers us to do the impossible.

We have hope for further advancements in treating Parkinson’s and for a cure.
We believe in the work of the Michael J Fox Foundation as it has already been a leading force in the pursuit.

Michael J Fox has been an inspiration to me and changed the way I cared for my mother altogether.
I am proud to say that my mother lived the last years of her life the happiest and most active!

Please help us support the MJFF in finding a cure for Parkinson’s.
We ask for a donation to be given in lieu of flowers.

Thank you,
Amanda Leal Henderson
