Michael J Fox Foundation Appoints New Board Members to Accelerate Parkinsons Research
Michael J. Fox BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Michael J. Fox's Michael J. Fox Foundation made waves this week, appointing Richard Fitzgerald, a private equity powerhouse whose dad has battled Parkinson's since 2007, and Samir Kaul, Khosla Ventures whiz grieving his father's 2025 death from the disease, to its board of directors on February 27, according to the foundation's official announcement. These heavy hitters bring sharp business savvy and personal stakes to the fight, bolstering the nonprofit that's now pumped over 2.5 billion dollars into research—topping even U.S. government funding, as Fox touted in a February 20 Time interview recapped by Parade. Just days earlier on February 24, the foundation rolled out its 2026 Parkinson's IQ plus You event series hitting Southern Nevada on March 14, a free powerhouse gathering with experts like Cleveland Clinic's Odinachi Oguh dishing on research breakthroughs, per PR Newswire. That same day, they dropped a webinar, In This Together: Care Partnership and Parkinson's, featuring real talk from patients and partners on resilient relationships amid symptoms, streamed on YouTube. Echoing Fox's advocacy grind, the foundation unveiled 101 million dollars in fresh grants from December 2025 and January 2026 for brain imaging, LRRK2 genetics, and freezing of gait fixes via its site. A February 9 nod on the foundation updates page highlighted Fox reflecting in The Free Press on his Parkinson's journey, pushing trials, and eyeing an acting comeback—whispers of optimism from the Back to the Future icon who dreams of eradicating the disease in 30 to 40 years. No fresh public sightings or social buzz on Fox himself popped up, but these foundation moves scream his enduring drive, potentially etching bold chapters in his bio as research accelerators. All verified from foundation releases and major outlets—no unconfirmed gossip here.
