The following is a request from Katie Hood - CEO at the Michael J. Fox Foundation. PLEASE read below, then take a minute to "vote" by clicking on the link provided to help research for Parkinson's. http://www.membersproject.com/project/view/FOY2GJ The goal of The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) for Parkinson's Research is to do whatever it takes to cure Parkinson's disease - Those at MJFF are working very hard to figure out a way to get to meaningful therapeutic advances and ultimately to a cure faster. A supporter of ours has nominated the MJFF as part of the American Express Members Project. The Members Project is a grassroots effort that empowers individuals to nominate projects and causes they feel are deserving of support. There is then a multi-stage voting process (1st deadline for votes is *September 1st*). The projects that get the most votes get forwarded to the next round. Ultimately, $2.5 million will be awarded for the best ideas. Over 1100 projects have been nominated at this point and after the September 1st vote, this group will be narrowed to the TOP 25. Every vote matters now! While there's no guarantee if this project wins that the MJFF would be selected as the fulfilling organization, it is felt that this approach is innovative, high-impact, and making a difference. Even if MJFF doesn't win (which we hope we do!) more money to PD research wherever it goes is a great thing." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
