The Michael J. Fox Foundation is dedicated to the aggressive funding of biomedical studies that can speed the development of the next generation of Parkinson's Disease treatments with the ultimate goal of establishing a proven cure. To this end, the Foundation urgently funds projects that are designed to improve the quality of life for current Parkinson's patients and drive innovation and research that can help cure and prevent the disease in the future.

Jason Colodne and Colbeck Capital Management are proud to support the Foundation and the critical work they pursue to end Parkinson's Disease. This funding is critical as the Foundation operates without an endowment or reserve, quickly investing any funds directly into research or patient-centric initiatives where they are needed most at the moment.

For the past 22 years, the Michael J. Fox Foundation has driven innovation in both the Parkinson's patient and biomedical research communities. The Foundation also stresses the core values of "urgency, resourcefulness, collaboration, accountability and persistence" as it pushes to make an impact now and alleviate patient experiences with timely breakthroughs. Recent funding has gone toward the Bachmann-Strauss Fellowship in Dystonia Research to fuel understanding of the movement disorder, and an expansion of a $450 million landmark study in the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI)
