The Michael J. Fox Foundation's Chicago Run/Walk

The Michael J. Fox Foundation established the Run/Walk Series, originally known as the Fox Trot, to bring together individuals affected by Parkinson's and their supporters. This series has grown from its origins in New York City to multiple locations across the U.S., raising over $8.9 million and involving more than 30,000 participants. The events aim to support high-impact Parkinson's research by directing all proceeds to the Foundation's programs. These gatherings offer a family-friendly environment that fosters community and support for those impacted by the disease.
