A Note from Michael
Dear Friend,
When the Foundation launched, we promised to
focus on the most urgent medical needs of people
living with Parkinson’s. We also pledged to do so
with tenacity and a commitment to maximize the
impact of every gift.
In 2015, your partnership — and that of patients,
families, researchers and clinicians throughout the
Parkinson’s community — helped us accelerate
momentum in the field in new and invigorating ways.
We still have much to do, but your friendship
continues to move us toward a cure. Thank you for
sharing our purpose and our progress.

An Update from the CEO and the Co-Founder:
Purpose, Partnership and Progress
TODD SHERER, PhD
DEBORAH W. BROOKS
Chief Executive Officer
Co-Founder and Executive
Vice President
Like the synapses and circuits that make up our
neurological function, Parkinson’s research is a
complex network. It relies on the interconnectivity,
shared purpose and partnership of funders,
academia, industry, clinicians and allied health
care providers, and those living with Parkinson’s
disease (PD).
The Michael J. Fox Foundation sits at the nexus
of these groups, working single-mindedly to
accelerate progress toward a cure on behalf of
the estimated five million individuals living with
Parkinson’s worldwide. (continued...)
2015 Annual Report
3
As this report details, 2015 was marked by a
groundswell not only of therapeutic pipeline
activity, but also of Parkinson’s community
engagement. Thanks to the generosity and
commitment of our worldwide network of
supporters, we funded $87.8 million in research
programs last year — a single-year record for
our organization. And our investments continue
to bear fruit in the form of tremendous activity
in the Parkinson’s therapeutic development
pipeline of both symptomatic and potentially
disease-modifying treatments.
Today, no fewer than seven disease-modifying
therapies (a treatment that could slow, stop or
even reverse progression of Parkinson’s disease,
something no current treatment has been proven
to do) are advancing through clinical testing.
Genetics remains the leading path to critical
breakthroughs in this arena. In 2015, two
Foundation-funded investigations targeting
alpha-synuclein, the gene whose protein clumps
in the brains of people with PD, moved into
human trials. One of these already is planning
for a Phase II study. (Read more on page 20.)
Meanwhile, mutations of the gene known as
LRRK2 — the most common known genetic
cause of PD — remain the focus of intense
research interest. We are cautiously optimistic
that our partners working toward the first LRRK2
inhibitor drugs could initiate clinical trials as
soon as 2017.
On the symptomatic front, as many as four new
therapies are positioned to come to market
in the next two years, mostly rescue drugs
to address disabling motor complications,
including “off” periods. In 2015, two new
treatments, Rytary and Duopa — novel
reformulations of carbidopa/levodopa designed
to reduce “off” periods — were approved by
FDA and took their place on pharmacy shelves.
And as this report went to print, we shared
news of the U.S. regulatory approval of Nuplazid
(pimavanserin), the first treatment for psychosis
(hallucinations and delusions) in Parkinson’s.
We join patients and families in celebrating
these important wins. But we remain sober
about the work still to be done, and we continue
to look to the Parkinson’s community as vital
partners in the continuing advancement of
Parkinson’s therapeutic development as a whole.
As more drugs enter late-stage testing, the
need for validated, objective biomarkers
intensifies. Biomarkers of Parkinson’s would
4
The Michael J. Fox Foundation
make clinical trials more efficient, optimize
the selection of patient populations for clinical
testing, and clarify regulatory pathways to
approval for breakthrough treatments. MJFF’s
landmark Parkinson’s Progression Markers
Initiative (PPMI), launched in 2010, has grown to
become the field’s premier vehicle for biomarker
development. Last year, the study expanded
its genetic cohorts and extended longitudinal
observation of the original cohort. PPMI has
studied a total of nearly 1,000 individuals
to date, and its unparalleled dataset has
been accessed more than 500,000 times by
researchers worldwide. Today, studies using
PPMI biosamples are yielding never-beforepossible insights into the natural history of PD.
For example, in September 2015, leaders of the
study’s genetics core published an analysis of
PPMI data outlining five clear criteria that could
for the first time allow researchers to screen for
Parkinson’s risk and eventually even predict who
will get PD.
As evidenced in part by patients’ and families’
tremendous willingness to take part in PPMI,
people with Parkinson’s have long been eager
to engage in a true dialogue with scientists.
In 2015, the Foundation launched Fox Insight,
an online observational study and portal for
patients to share their experiences and concerns
directly with researchers, helping ensure
that R&D priorities are reflective of the most
pressing unmet medical needs of people with
PD. Fox Insight aims to collect and analyze data
from thousands of individuals on measurable
features of Parkinson’s, such as slowness of
movement, tremor and sleep quality, enabling
researchers to assemble a better picture of the
clinical progression of Parkinson’s and track its
relationship to molecular changes. To date, more
than 4,000 participants have enrolled; many
more are needed. (Read more on page 46.)
And because virtual research is most effective
when it complements traditional “brick and
mortar” studies, our Foundation continues
to grow Fox Trial Finder, our online clinical
trial matching tool. Last year, Fox Trial Finder
crossed the 50,000-mark in registered
volunteers, expanded scientifically to include
studies focused on atypical parkinsonisms
underrepresented in research, and enlarged its
international footprint to include France. This
brings the total number of countries worldwide
in which it is matching volunteers and trials to 31.
In addition to tools for research engagement,
our Foundation hears every day from patients,
loved ones and caregivers seeking community
connection and high-quality educational
offerings to better understand their disease.
We are eager to continue working with the
PD community to spread the word about
opportunities to partner in the search for a cure.
Our grassroots fundraising program, Team Fox,
contributed more than $11 million to our research
efforts through thousands of community-based
events last year. And we connected with friends
old and new through an expanding palette of
online and in-person events. The Tour de Fox,
a summer-long odyssey brought together more
than 3,000 participants and supporters across
the United States and Canada, and raised an
astounding $2.5 million for research. (Read
more on page 54.)
Remembering a
Revolutionary and
a Friend
Research roundtable discussions and daylong Partners in Parkinson’s symposia reached
tens of thousands of patients and families, as
did our Third Thursdays webinars, Ask the MD
series and MJFF podcasts breaking down the
latest news on drug development and living
with Parkinson’s.
In short, we left 2015 more optimistic and
energized than ever by the achievements to date
and the possibilities ahead. And we couldn’t do
any of it without you. Thank you for helping
realize our shared vision of a world without
Parkinson’s disease.

Chief Executive Officer
REPORT, we joined the technology and business communities
in mourning the passing of Andrew S. Grove in March 2016 at
age 79.
A visionary leader who was never satisfied with the status quo,
Andy served for many years as president, CEO and chairman of
DEBORAH W. BROOKS
Co-Founder and Executive Vice Chairman
the board for Intel Corporation. He was well-known for his love
of challenging assumptions and for motivating others to reach
goals often thought unattainable.
Andy was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease around the
time of MJFF’s founding in 2000 and became an adviser who
influenced the Foundation’s philosophy of accountability, failure
analysis and willingness to change and adapt. We are grateful
to Andy for his extraordinary contribution to our mission.

The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s ultimate goal is
the development of a treatment to slow, stop or
reverse disease progression. Currently, no such
treatment exists, but it is the only definition of
success we recognize.
Today, seven potential disease-modifying
therapies have progressed to clinical (human)
trials. MJFF has lent support to all as part of our
high-risk, high-impact approach:
FOUR TRIALS ARE TARGETING ALPHASYNUCLEIN, the protein that forms clumps in the
brains of people with Parkinson’s. In 2015, two
companies entered clinical testing: one therapy
seeks to bind to alpha-synuclein, preventing its
accumulation, and the second introduces antibodies
(the body’s natural disease fighters) against the
protein. Two additional companies are planning

“One of the most difficult
things I’ve ever done

followed by countless offers
to get involved.”

Community Online
TEAM FOX IS JUST ONE WAY THAT PEOPLE LIVING WITH PARKINSON’S AND LOVED ONES
CAN ENGAGE WITH MJFF’S WORK. THEY ALSO HAVE A CRITICAL ROLE in helping speed a cure
through research participation. And MJFF continues to provide new opportunities to infuse research
priorities and design with the patient’s voice, including through technology-enabled solutions.
In March, the Foundation launched Fox Insight, a virtual clinical trial and portal for volunteers
to contribute data, including how “off” periods impact daily activities and non-motor symptoms
may shift over time. Participants add to a vast dataset from the convenience of their own homes,
helping researchers identify medical needs and reliable measures of the disease. Data collected

2015 Annual Report

Tour de Fox
In the summer of 2015, thousands from the
Parkinson’s community took part in the Tour de
Fox — a 103-day cycling and climbing journey
across the United States and Canada. All proceeds
from the Tour went directly to research efforts.
Thank you to all who biked, climbed or donated
with us along this journey.
A special thanks is owed to Board members whose
extraordinary support of the Tour helped unite the
PD community: Lee Fixel, Nelle Fortenberry, Amar
Kuchinad, Woody Shackleton, Rick Tigner and
Sonny Whelen.
Learn more about the Tour and the
2016 Series at tourdefox.org.
MJFF staffer and ultra-athlete Sam
Fox (no relation to Michael J. Fox)
was inspired to lead the Tour by his
mother, Lucy, who has lived with PD
for more than 15 years.
