A note on the evolving coronavirus situation: As you know, The Michael J. Fox Foundation has been monitoring the evolving situation surrounding coronavirus COVID-19. While the risk of exposure/infection likely remains low for the general public, we have made the decision to err on the side of caution and postpone the Parkinson's IQ + You events in South Florida, Chicago and the Bay Area.
While we hate to disappoint our community, your health and comfort are our top priorities. Our team is working to reschedule these events for dates to be determined later this year or early in 2021; please look out for future communications as we know more.
We apologize for any inconvenience. If you have questions, please contact us at (800) 708-7644.
Consider joining one of our webinars as we work on rescheduling these events.
