Currently, there is no cure for Parkinson's Disease. The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research is trying to find the cause and hopefully a cure for this terrible disease. People who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's AND THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE THE DISEASE are invited to participate in their research by answering online surveys. If you would like to learn more, you can visit Fox Insight, here: https://foxinsight.michaeljfox.org/ Is this something you might be interested in participating in? Yes
