1 2015 Annual Report
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.

3 2015 Annual Report
TODD SHERER, PhD Chief Executive Officer
DEBORAH W. BROOKS 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. (continued...)
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-before-possible 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,
4 The Michael J. Fox Foundation
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.)
Research roundtable discussions and day-long 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.
With gratitude,
DEBORAH W. BROOKSCo-Founder and Executive Vice Chairman

5 2015 Annual Report
Andy S. Grove1937 2016
AS THE MICHAEL J. FOX FOUNDATION PREPARED THIS 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
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.

13 2015 Annual Report
“Parkinson’s research is an ecosystem, and The Michael J. Fox Foundation is at its center. In the end, we all want to find a therapy for PD. To do that you need the best information — including about the targets and potential biomarkers. No one company or single academic lab can do that effectively.”
Leveraging the Power of Everyone’s Data
MJFF’S EFFORTS TO FACILITATE COOPERATION BETWEEN DRUG DEVELOPMENT LEADERS — from biotech startups to industry giants — help
clear hurdles to a cure. Yet, data sharing and
comparison among companies are atypical for
research organizations.
The Foundation’s uniquely solution-driven
approach is welcomed by partners such as Darryle
Schoepp, PhD, who serves as vice president and
head of neuroscience research, discovery, pre-
clinical and early development of Merck & Co.
Merck is one of the Foundation’s longstanding
collaborators, working with MJFF and other
companies to support the Parkinson’s Progression
Markers Initiative and to determine the relationship
between LRRK2 and other proteins.
A 25-year veteran of PD research, Dr. Schoepp first
began investigating Parkinson’s and treatments
to block the breakdown of dopamine in graduate
school. When his mother was diagnosed with
Parkinson’s nearly a decade ago, the critical
need for a cure was driven home in a new way,
strengthening his commitment to MJFF and its
robust work bringing competitors together. The
Foundation thanks Dr. Schoepp and our many
industry partners for their collective support.

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
understanding in many fields was vital to culture and human progress. MJFF is
grateful to Errol, his family and his caregiver for sharing his legacy with us and for
their dedication to accelerating a cure for Parkinson’s.
A Legacy of Intellect and Generosity

19 2015 Annual Report
20 The Michael J. Fox Foundation
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:
Accelerating toward a Cure
FOUR TRIALS ARE TARGETING ALPHA-
SYNUCLEIN, 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
and/or collaboration on clinical trial design.
IN SEPTEMBER, THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF
HEALTH (NIH) ANNOUNCED FUNDING for a Phase
III trial of inosine, a precursor to the antioxidant
urate. Studies have shown that people with higher
levels of urate have lower risk for Parkinson’s or
slower rate of progression. The MJFF-funded Phase
II study showed that inosine is safe, tolerable and
does raise urate levels in people with early-stage PD.
PHASE III TESTING FOR ISRADIPINE — a calcium
channel blocker currently prescribed to treat high
blood pressure — is progressing. MJFF funded pre-
clinical work and the Phase II study. In early 2016,
researchers shared a record pace of recruitment for
the NIH-funded Phase III trial, with more than 300
volunteers enrolled last year.
MJFF ALSO IS FUNDING A PHASE I TRIAL of
nicotine patches based on strong data indicating a
reduced risk of PD in smokers. The study seeks to
determine possible biological connections between
nicotine and Parkinson’s.

25 2015 Annual Report
—MATTHEW LYDON Vice President, Microsoft Corporation
“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.”
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.
