This page also is a place to support The Michael J. Fox Foundation's mission to end Parkinson's. Every person and family touched by this disease knows the same urgency for a cure. But we also can take heart in the tremendous progress that has unfolded since the Foundation opened its doors. Those living with Parkinson's have every reason to look to the future with hope.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are appreciated to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. The Foundation believes we are closer than ever to breakthrough treatments. We want to do everything we can to help. Please consider joining in tribute to Paul and in honor of the five million living with Parkinson's worldwide.
