There's still time! Help speed a cure for Parkinson’s

I'm sure your inbox is filled with messages from incredible organizations around the world this Giving Tuesday. We hope that during this global day of giving back, you will consider supporting our work  to bring a cure to the five million people living with Parkinson's every day.

I encourage you to read the email below from The Michael J. Fox Foundation's CEO Todd Sherer about our determination to speed a cure and close our doors. There' s still time to have your donation matched dollar for dollar and help us reach this goal.

Thank you,

Deborah W. BrooksCo-Founder and Executive Vice Chairman

 It's Giving Tuesday, a day dedicated to giving back. But as I came to work today at The Michael J. Fox Foundation, I thought about another day -- the one when we find a cure for Parkinson's disease, and close our doors.
Today more than ever, we need you to help us go out of business, and we have a powerful opportunity for you to advance our pursuit of a cure. All day, your donation will be matched dollar for dollar, until we hit $500,000.
When you give to MJFF, you are fueling the research with the greatest promise to speed a cure. There is incredible momentum in the Parkinson's research field right now, including several treatments aimed at slowing or stopping disease progression in clinical trials.
Your contribution will bring us that much closer to our goal. And we promise to use your gift efficiently: 89 cents of every dollar we spend goes straight to research programs.
Please donate today to push our work further and put us out of business. Together, we can end Parkinson's for good.
Thank you.
