My dad, Joe, was recently diagnosed with Parkinsons disease. I have worked in Healthcare for years as a social worker, advocating for and guiding those with serious illnesses to resources. But it's different when it's your own family. The Michigan Parkinson Foundation has been so instrumental in guiding us as we begin to navigate this new future. From the Parkinson PD 101 class to the exercise classes and videos, they have been a wealth of support and information. Our goal now is to help support them as they continue to support us over the years to come. So join us!

The revenues from our fundraising events are essential to help ensure that no person with Parkinson’s in Michigan and their families are without quality care and support. The need for MPF’s respite care program has increased twenty-fold, providing $10,000 to families in 2018 to more than $283,000 and 13,885 hours to 176 families in 2024.  Over 13,500 individuals served through MPF exercise classes and 2,116 served through educational programs statewide. To date, we have been able to say “YES” to all that need our help with support from individuals like you.
