Team Fox has always been a foundation that Shane admired, and over a few beverages at a Christmas party, he found out it was a subject very close to Ces’s heart (her dad passed away in 2009 after a 20-year battle with Parkinson’s disease), so the two decided to do something about it and kick off a fundraising event. The idea was born to climb a mountain, then it evolved to climbing, not just one, but THREE MOUNTAINS in 1 day.
Five million people worldwide are living with Parkinson’s disease — a chronic, degenerative neurological disorder. There is no known cure for Parkinson’s disease. But through your support of Team Fox, you can help change this. Team Fox is The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s grassroots community fundraising program. Its members include thousands of people worldwide who generate funds and awareness for Parkinson’s disease research. All funds raised through Team Fox go directly to MJFF to advance its mission to accelerate the delivery of life-changing treatments, and ultimately a cure, to people with Parkinson’s disease.
