Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Disease

This is a small clip about Michael's vision for a cure for Parkinson's. I too have a dream in my heart to strive for a cure of Peripheral Neuropathy and other neurological diseases and disorders. I'm a member of the Neuropathy Association out of New York with whom I work with as a support group leader and soon the President of the southern California Chapter of the Neuropathy Association (SCCNA).We need more active patients and those in the medical field to help in spreading awareness about this debilitating condition. Will you join me in this venture? Let me know what you think...Thanks, David

From Michael J. Fox:

Following the success of his memoir, Lucky Man, in April 2002, Fox has announced plans to pen a second book on optimism, to be published in 2008. But while he maintains a strong commitment to his acting and writing careers, Fox has shifted a good deal of his focus and energies toward The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, which he launched in year 2000, and its efforts to raise much-needed research funding for and awareness about Parkinson's disease.
Fox wholeheartedly believes that if there is a concentrated effort from the Parkinson's community, elected representatives in Washington, DC, and (most importantly) the general public, researchers can pinpoint the cause of Parkinson's and uncover a cure within our lifetime.
