Last week, we held our fourth annual EpiCure for Parkinson’s, bringing together some of New York City’s top chefs and restaurants for an evening of food and community in support of Parkinson’s research.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, this year’s event raised over $456K to help accelerate Parkinson’s research.

We’re deeply grateful to our culinary partners, dedicated co-chairs and Leadership Committee, generous sponsors and everyone who joined us in support of our mission.

How can Parkinson’s affect communication and connection?

When Rebecca Reppucci decided to participate in MJFF's Boston Run/Walk, she didn’t have to take on the challenge alone.

Her colleagues at Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. stepped up, encouraged her to participate and created the Signaling for a Cure team — bringing coworkers, friends and family together around a shared goal: helping accelerate a cure for Parkinson’s disease.

“Facing a disease that currently has no cure can make you feel powerless," Rebecca says. "But fundraising for MJFF's Boston Run/Walk gave me back a sense of control.”

On Sunday, October 25, be part of a community turning determination into progress. Join us in Boston: https://give.michaeljfox.org/event/2026-boston-run-walk/e753009?c_src=os_cidfb-a1bVL000008KQ09

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved tavapadon, a once-daily oral medication for the treatment of motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.

Tavapadon, which will be sold under the brand name Juvmo, is a new drug in an existing class of Parkinson’s medications called dopamine agonists.

Dopamine agonists can reduce motor symptoms, but they can have side effects that can be difficult for some to tolerate. Because tavapadon works differently than previous dopamine agonists, it could cause fewer side effects.
