A huge congratulations to our 220 Team Fox ING NYC Marathon runners. You blew us away with your energy, determination and stamina. We are so proud of each and every one of you and incredibly grateful that you chose to turn this physical challenge into a fundraiser on behalf of the millions of people living with Parkinson’s disease. On behalf of The Michael J. Fox Foundation, thank you!
Throughout the day yesterday, we were thrilled to receive text message from our runners, updating us on their progress. Here’s what they had to say:
- Deborah Meyer: Great day! Saw so many Team Foxers on course. High fived Michael J Fox and then hugged my parents. Ended with a PR!

Congrats everyone! I don’t run with a phone, so I couldn’t send updates, but it was great seeing the Team Fox cheering sections and miles 7 and 23.5.

WOW -what a feeling. My first marathon; seeing Michael just before turning into Central Park gave me more energy than all the power drinks combined and got me through the last leg. 5 hours 22minutes and worth every last painstaking step! Thank you, James

The marathon was a blast, and running for Team Fox made it even more significant. The cheering sections were amazing, and there was a lot of support for Team Fox all along the course. Thanks for the opportunity to run for such a great cause.
