Patients first

  • Better treatments for currently unaddressed or under-addressed symptoms
  • Treatments to address or avoid the debilitating side effects of current PD drugs

Our model is different
  • Our Foundation is a trusted strategic leader and partner to researchers, patients, thought leaders and philanthropists. With an unbiased expert perspective and a global network of contacts, our wide-ranging view of the field lets us collaborate to solve complex problems that require different talents and target resources where they are needed most — to pay off for patients faster.
  • It is accepted practice among private disease research funders that the most important decisions — how to allocate donor-raised dollars — are made by external scientific advisors and boards. We bucked this model from day one in favor of building an in-house team of formally trained PhDs and business-trained project managers.
  • We’re on a mission to meet every person with Parkinson’s online or face to face. We're committed to connecting patients and families to the robust nationwide PD community. By participating in clinical trials, advocating for Parkinson's policy or engaging in our community and Team Fox events, they are helping us carry new therapies over the goal line.
