Raised in Tribute:
$103.00Thank you for visiting this page dedicated to honoring and celebrating the life of Bill Turney. Born on the 4th of July, Bill was always a firecracker. The phrase “the man, the myth, the legend” doesn’t even begin to do him justice. After graduating from high school, Bill served in the Army where he became fascinated with skydiving, becoming a Jumpmaster and completing over 500 jumps. Some of his other hobbies included bicycling, camping, canoeing, history, reading, rock and roll music, playing cards, trivia, and participating in a variety of sports. He also enjoyed all things related to motorcycles, competing in motocross in his younger years and still riding street bikes until his Parkinson's diagnosis at age 71. Although Parkinson's may have impacted what he was able to do physically, it never impacted his character, his wit, his generosity, or his love for his family and friends.
In honor of Bill, we invite you to join us in supporting The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. Every person and family touched by this disease shares an urgent quest for a cure. We take heart in the Foundation’s tremendous progress over the past two decades, including more and better treatments, and an increasingly clear path to eradicating the disease. We stand with the Foundation in support of its singular mission to end Parkinson’s.
Thank you for your consideration and your support.
The Michael J. Fox Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's disease and to ensuring the development of improved therapies for those living with Parkinson's today. The Foundation is the world's largest nonprofit funder of Parkinson's research, with more than $2 billion in high-impact research funded to date.
