My father, James "Jim" Head was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2005. He recently passed away February 22nd. He fought bravely and never let the disease kill his spirit. Even though he was in a wheelchair towards the end he never stopped living his life and loving his kids and grandchildren.

The Foundation is the world's largest nonprofit funder of Parkinson's research, with more than $800 million in high-impact research funded to date.
