MJFF community member, professional development specialist and creator of the blog “Parking Suns: A Life with Parkinson’s Disease” Bruce Ballard, 70, of New York City has been living with PD since 2012 and has written about his journey navigating the disease, including the stigma and challenges of equitable care around the world as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Bruce shares: “I remember when I shared my first blog post about what’s it like being part of the LGBTQ+ community and living with Parkinson’s. I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew there wasn’t enough dialogue about issues on care that many of my fellow LGBTQ+ Parkies could relate to or at least start a conversation on. Parkinson’s can feel isolating already as it is. My advice to others is to find ways to stay connected, whether it's joining the Foundation’s Buddy Network online platform or finding a local support group or exercise class.” Join MJFF’s Parkinson’s Buddy Network platform, where people and loved ones with PD can engage in important dialogue, join groups like our LGBTQ+ Parkinson’s community, find useful resources and build long-lasting relationships.

"June is Pride month. The word 'pride' is intended to convey a sense of inner worth and external confidence that is the key to protecting and preserving mental and physical health of LGBTQ+ individuals. Pride encourages community and unity, and it reminds us that the various journeys of our community members are important, supported and accepted. An inclusive environment in support of our LGBTQ+ colleagues and the broader Parkinson's community is an important part of MJFF's organizational priorities. In our mission to lessen the burden of disease on the millions of people and families living with PD, we stand together with every individual and group represented on our staff, in our PD community and beyond." - Jim McNasby, MJFF General Counsel & Executive Sponsor, Pride Fox Employee Resource Group In celebration of Pride Month - a time to recognize the valuable contributions of the worldwide LGBTQ+ community and commemorate the Stonewall Inn uprising of June 1969 in our hometown of New York City - MJFF staff joined together yesterday to participate in the New York City Pride March.

Every year since 2008, cyclists and families from all corners of the U.S. and beyond have flocked to Old Orchard Beach, Maine to participate in the New England Parkinson's Ride, cycling toward a cure for Parkinson’s. Due to the dedication of Edna Woods; her soon Chris, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at age 41; her daughter Cindy; and their entire family, the ride is a perennial favorite of @teamfoxmjff, MJFF's grassroots fundraising program. To its participants, the ride goes beyond bicycling. It brings together a community that continues to stand the test of time, inspiring teams to return year after year and breaking fundraising records in the process. With millions raised and thousands of cyclists, the ride’s impact on Parkinson’s research cannot be overstated. It will continue to be a Team Fox anchor until Parkinson’s is cured. To register to join the ride this year in person, or from anywhere, visit neparkinsonsride.org/
