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

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.

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

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.

AS THE MICHAEL J. FOX FOUNDATION PREPARED THIS
TODD SHERER, PhD 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.

A Legacy of Intellect and Generosity Errol Jacobs 1937 2014 ERROL JACOBS WAS A BROTHER, UNCLE AND FRIEND who passed away in December 2014 at age 77. A high school teacher for nearly 40 years, he was remembered by his loved ones, colleagues and students as a witty storyteller and a keen explorer who loved art, music, vigorous political debate and traveling the globe. Errol lived with Parkinson’s for more than a decade before his passing, and arranged for The Michael J. Fox Foundation to become a beneficiary of his estate. A committed philanthropist, Errol believed that a search for knowledge and

Accelerating toward a Cure 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 Phase II trials of other antibody approaches. MJFF is working closely with each through financial support

A Diagnosis Galvanizes a Corporate Community
“One of the most difficult things I’ve ever done professionally was to tell my team at Microsoft that I have Parkinson’s. I shouldn’t have been surprised by their reaction — a giant embrace, followed by countless offers to get involved.” —MATTHEW LYDON Vice President, Microsoft Corporation
MICROSOFT EXECUTIVE MATT LYDON’S PD DIAGNOSIS has inspired employee-led fundraisers and in-kind consulting to support MJFF’s mission of speeding research. Microsoft employees work with MJFF staff to analyze our website and technical infrastructure to improve performance and speed. The Foundation is grateful to Microsoft, its employees and the many companies who support our mission through donations, pro-bono services and matched gifts.

Seeking a Missing Link in the Development of PD Treatments THE PROMISE OF NEW THERAPIES IN THE DRUG
Thomas Stewart
DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE has highlighted the need for
Elizabeth Still
biomarkers of Parkinson’s disease — objective measures that
Jean and Robert Stoessel Charles Stokeld
communicate disease risk, onset and/or progression (such
Curtis Stone
as cholesterol level for heart disease). The identification and
Dana and Andrew Stone Richard H. Stone The Stop & Stor Charitable Fund
validation of biomarkers are critical to assess the efficacy of existing and emerging treatments.
James Stopa Robert Stott Sheila Stowell
To that end, in 2010, MJFF launched its Parkinson’s
Brian Strange
Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI). Five years later, 1,000
Nancy Stratford Teri Stratton
people both with and without PD have shared data and
Bernard Strauss
biosamples; data has been downloaded by researchers more

Mobilizing the PD 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 through Fox Insight is de-identified and will be made available to researchers worldwide for independent study. More than 4,000 people to date have contributed data via home computer, mobile phone or smartwatch that can help speed research. Volunteers also can use Fox Insight to optimize their care by tracking symptom frequency and severity for clinician visits, helping them provide a clear snapshot of their PD.

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.
