The Michael J. Fox Foundation's Chicago Run/Walk
About the Event
The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) launched the Run/Walk Series in 2017 to connect those affected by Parkinson’s, their families and community supporters. Since then, the Series has expanded nationwide, raising over $10.1 million and uniting more than 33,800 participants.
These family-friendly events offer a day of activity, community and valuable information about Parkinson's disease and local support resources. Whether you're living with Parkinson’s, supporting a loved one or simply seeking to learn more, our Run/Walk Series provides an opportunity to engage, raise awareness and make a difference.
All proceeds directly fund MJFF’s research to accelerate treatments and find a cure. Your involvement is crucial to advancing our mission, and we thank you for your support!
