Welcome to The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s redesigned and renamed newsletter! With a new size and format, we hope it is easier for you to read, take with you, and share with others. You contributed our new name, The Fox Focus on Parkinson’s, through our Facebook competition. Throughout the issue, you’ll read about the people who are bringing their particular focus to our shared goal of making Parkinson’s history — including scientists, patients, Fox Trial Finder volunteers and Team Fox supporters.

We value your contributions to our ongoing conversation about speeding a cure. To help you get to know MJFF better, you’ll hear from our CEO, members of our Scientific Advisory Board and Board of Directors, and Contributing Editor Dave Iverson. We’ve also pointed out how to take action or find more information on our Web site (michaeljfox.org).

We know you value our efficiency, with 88 cents of every dollar we spend going directly to our research programs. From now on, we’ll publish two newsletters a year instead of three. Every edition will be available online, with multimedia extras, at michaeljfox.org/foxfocus.

As the newsletter editor, I look forward to continuing our conversation. Let me know what you think of the redesign, and what you’d like to see in future issues, at landerson@michaeljfox.org.
