Did You Know That April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month?

Jump to Comments

Welcome to April! MJFF is excited to usher in this new month as it is not just the first full month of spring but also Parkinson’s Awareness Month. There is a lot going on at Team Fox and the Foundation and we’re feeling energized and motivated to get out there and raise funds and awareness for Parkinson’s disease.

As you’ve probably seen on TV, online and in newspapers and magazines, Michael J. Fox is taking Parkinson’s Awareness Month by storm with the release of his new book. Our Team Fox members are getting out there too, revving up their spring fundraising efforts. There are so many ways to get involved and make the most of this special month – from setting up a lemonade stand in your neighborhood to signing up to run in your local 5K, now is a great time to get your efforts underway. Looking for other ideas on how you can spread the word about Parkinson’s Awareness Month? Visit the Team Fox site for some suggestions. If you have ideas to offer, please post them here!

We look forward to sharing an incredibly busy and exciting April with you!
