FROM

LEADERSHIP

Dear Friend of the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation: We are often asked: How would you describe PDF to someone you had just met in an elevator, as you journey from the ground to the 15th floor, where our offices are? Okay, admittedly this is a bit of a New York City-oriented question (after all, we have more 15th floor offices here than do most cities), but you get the point. To close in on the question, we decided to frame this year’s annual report around three words that we feel capture the essence of PDF’s spirit, strategies and successes — and can be uttered in a brief elevator ride. Here they are: Commitment. Community. And Impact. First, Commitment. The very word calls out the heart of PDF’s story: more than a half-century of delivering on the promise of our founder, William Black, to help accelerate the cure for Parkinson’s disease (PD) by supporting research of the highest caliber and relevance to the needs of the people who live with the disease. This commitment will be secure until that day when we are able, joyfully, to close the curtains on the Parkinson’s story. This commitment was evident in 2010 in our support of Parkinson’s researchers at several major university centers in the United States and beyond. We do not tell these scientists what to do; we ask them for their best ideas and then provide, through rigorous peer review, a selection process that centers on just three questions about their proposed work. One question is, is it the best science? The second is, does it add materially to what we already know? And the third is, will it be relevant to understanding and stopping Parkinson’s disease? Our second word is Community. Actually, we have several communities. The first is the women and men who live with Parkinson’s, along with their partners, sons and daughters, and friends. We interact with these folks in a variety of ways. One is including them as advisors for our own programs — primarily though our People with Parkinson’s Advisory Council, the first of its kind in the Parkinson’s community. Another one is providing them with authoritative and timely information — through our website, our publications and educational meetings, both in-person and online. A more recent initiative is engaging them in the process of Parkinson’s clinical research, primarily through our Parkinson’s Advocates in Research (PAIR) program which “pairs” talented patient advocates with real-world challenges in clinical research.

PDF Annual Report 2010

Another community is the doctors and scientists who conduct the research and provide the medical services for people with Parkinson’s. We serve this community in various ways — from screening clinicians for our physician referral list, to supporting the work of the Parkinson Study Group, the nation’s leading consortium of Parkinson’s researchers. The third word is Impact. As with the other two words, the idea of “impact” has more than a single side to it. In the context of limited resources, this means that we must carefully choose the projects that we take on for their likely impact. This in turn means that we do not duplicate activities that are being done, or have been done, by other organizations. For example, the online nursing education course that we led is the first of its kind ever to have been attempted. So is our Clinical Research Learning Institute, which trains people with Parkinson’s to be research advocates. Making an impact also means that we need to continuously evaluate what we do to ensure that it meets community needs, clearly and efficiently. The point is that it is not enough to just have good ideas, strong people or good money behind them; you have to be able to demonstrate that what you are doing actually makes a difference to the communities you serve. What we are saying would be true for any organization, but it is especially true in a not-for-profit where the “bottom line” is so much more than the financial return on investment.

Thank you! We invite you to read this report carefully and critically — whether or not we have the pleasure of seeing you “on the elevator!” Sincerely yours,

Robin Anthony Elliott

LEADERSHIP

As we like to say in each annual report, nothing of what we do — not the pursuit of our commitment, not the service to our community, and not the certification we make of the impact of the work that we do — would be possible without the help of those who support us financially. At the start of each fiscal year, we must start from scratch to raise the money we need — about $10 million a year — to fund the work that has marked the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation since 1957. To our donors who have helped to make these efforts possible, we extend our deepest gratitude. We hope that you are as proud of the work you have supported as we are to have undertaken it.

PDF

2010

The Parkinson's Disease Foundation supports research and ideas that will improve the lives and futures of people touched by Parkinson’s. Because of your support in 2010, PDF was able to accomplish the following:

1 2

Funded $5.5 million in Parkinson’s research — including grants to 37 individual investigators, 39 fellows and the scientific teams at three major academic centers — whose creative and novel ideas will bring us closer to finding new treatments and a cure.

3 4

Ensured that the findings of Parkinson’s research are accessible to everyone by launching a “What Does it Mean?” news feature and blog entitled, Parkinson’s Insights, both of which provide space to translate research news, offer updates on scientific meetings and feature guest posts by community members.

Distributed 100,000 educational publications and advised, through our National HelpLine, thousands of people with Parkinson’s, family members and health care professionals from all 50 states and six continents, on issues relating to diagnosis, treatment, care partner concerns and more.

Welcomed the participation of our friends online, with 10,000 individuals viewing at least one of six innovative online educational seminars; and thousands more sharing their stories, creative works, photos and videos with each other on PDF.org, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr.

5 6 7 8

Expanded our network of PDF Research Advocates to include more than100 individuals who have been trained through the Clinical Research Learning Institute and who are now ready to advance science by bringing their voices to important issues in Parkinson’s research.

Led a community effort to develop an online nursing course, Parkinson’s Disease Across the Lifespan: A Roadmap for Nurses, for which 6,400 nurses have now registered and are learning about the latest in Parkinson’s care.

Showed the world the impact of Parkinson’s through the unveiling of the first Parkinson’s Quilt, featuring panels created by more than 600 people, at the 2nd World Parkinson Congress, in Glasgow, Scotland.

Advocated for a larger recognition of Parkinson’s Awareness Month in April, ensuring that the Parkinson’s community rises to the forefront of the national consciousness, by distributing our message to more than 100,000 people through our Awareness Month toolkit, print and online campaigns and a community t-shirt design contest.

9 10

Advanced our research, education and advocacy programs under the advisement of our People with Parkinson’s Advisory Council, now in its fifth year — the first group of its kind in the Parkinson’s community.

Earned a Four-Star Rating from Charity Navigator, once again, making PDF the only Parkinson’s charity to receive both this and the Charity Seal of Approval from the Wise Giving Alliance of the Better Business Bureau (BBB). 5

COMMITMENT

For more than a half century, the Parkinson's Disease Foundation’s commitment to the Parkinson's community has remained the same — funding research of the highest caliber while providing easily accessible, high quality information to people living with the disease. Since our founding in 1957, PDF has dedicated over $85 million to fund the research of leading scientists throughout the world and has funded over $34 million worth of educational and advocacy initiatives to support people with Parkinson’s, their families and care partners.

Increasing Our Understanding of Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson's Ranging from mild attention difficulties to dementia, cognitive impairment is a debilitating symptom of Parkinson’s. With funding from PDF’s International Research Grants and Fellowship Program, Ryan Walsh, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, is using fMRI (functional MRI) imaging to identify the anatomical features underlying cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s and to determine whether there are differences in how peoA cross-sectional view of a healthy brain as imaged using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Advanced forms of this imaging technique allow scientists to see changes in the brain that might be associated with Parkinson’s.

Funding Innovative Research that is Unlikely to Secure Funding Through More Traditional Sources With funding from PDF, Gammon Earhart, P.T., Ph.D., of the Washington University School of Medicine, is examining the role of partnered dance in Parkinson’s. This study represents one of the first to examine the effectiveness of a long-term, community-based partnered dance exercise program for individuals with Parkinson’s and one of the first to evaluate their medication. The initial results are promising, suggesting a clear improvement in disease severity (as assessed by the UPDRS, a rating scale used to measure disease progression) in those

Furthermore, this study suggests that the benefits of six months of exercise were greater than those of just three months of exercise, with benefits maintained at 12 months relative to the six-month time point. This work paves the way for future studies to determine the relative effectiveness of different forms and doses of exercise for people with Parkinson’s and for studies of the mechanisms by which dance may convey benefits.

COMMUNITY

At the heart of PDF’s work is the participation of people with Parkinson’s. Through its educational and advocacy programs, PDF offers the tools and resources to empower individuals to become involved, raise awareness and help bring about change.

PAIRing up to Change the Parkinson’s Research Process At PDF, we believe that one way to help accelerate the development of new therapies for Parkinson’s is through “pairing” people with Parkinson’s — trained research advocates — with people in government, science and industry to improve the process that brings us new medicines. Through our Parkinson’s Advocates in

Graduates of the 2010 Clinical Research Learning Institute

Research (PAIR) program, advocates are advancing science by educating their communities about clinical study participation; partnering with industry, academia and government to ensure that the voices of people with Parkinson’s are heard; working with scientists to design, run and review research studies; and serving as formal representatives on local, state and national clinical research review and advisory boards. PDF Research Advocates participate in a three-day Clinical Research Learning Institute. This PAIR training program features leading clinical research experts from academia, government and industry, and former Learning Institute graduates. Coursework includes the science of Parkinson’s disease, the clinical research process and advocacy skills-building — preparing participants to be informed and knowledgeable in their roles as Research Advocates. In 2010, 40 individuals completed the training. Graduates of the Learning Institute work closely with PDF staff and fellow Research Advocates through ongoing education, resource sharing and networking opportunities to strengthen the role that people with Parkinson’s can play in the clinical research process.

Parkinson’s studies through her service with the Coalition Against Major Diseases (CAMD) Critical Path Institute, a nonprofit institute which brings together industry and government agencies to improve the development of new therapies by streamlining data. She has also reviewed new data standards created by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) — a branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that funds Parkinson’s research — and has provided her expert feedback on behalf of PDF and the Parkinson’s community.

Researchers and Advocates Recognize Parkinson’s Research Participants In April 2010, a group of PDF Research Advocates, including Frances Waldynski of Chicago, IL, decided to recognize “partners in progress” — individuals from the Chicago area who have participated in trials. The advocates joined forces with local doctors, clinical trial coordinators and PDF staff to organize an educational forum entitled, Partners in Progress: The Essential Role that People with Parkinson's Play in Clinical Research. In addition to honoring research participants, the event brought together over 200 individuals, and helped to raise awareness of the studies taking place in the area.

Arizona Mom Wins PDF’s Parkinson’s Awareness Month T-Shirt Contest In 2010, PDF launched its first Parkinson’s Awareness Month T-Shirt Design Contest, which challenged members of the Parkinson’s community to design a t-shirt incorporating the Parkinson’s tulip and PDF’s trademark colors, yellow and green. Heather Hinrichsen, a 36-year old mom who lives with young onset Parkinson’s disease, decided to give it a try. Her entry — the Fight to Win design — received over 800 of the 1,900 votes, beating out four other finalists. Ms. Hinrichsen said, “I hope that by sharing my story, people will realize that Parkinson’s is not just an older person’s disease. Through the t-shirt, I want to spread the message to everyone to fight Parkinson’s. I plan to fight until I win — I have Parkinson’s, but it doesn't have me!”

The First Global Quilt for Parkinson’s In 2010, more than 600 people from 16 countries participated in the Parkinson's Quilt Project, the first global quilt project to focus the world's attention on the impact of Parkinson’s and on the continuing urgency to find a cure. Each 2’ by 2’ quilt panel included photos, illustrations and items that expressed the experience of each quilter with Parkinson's. The quilt was displayed for the first time at the 2nd World Parkinson Congress in Glasgow, Scotland in September 2010. To ensure that the quilt continues to raise awareness, PDF is offering sections of the quilt for

However, after finding the PDF Facebook page, she has found the social networking site to be a place where she has been able to share her experience caring for her late father who lived with Parkinson’s. As she watched people “writing” on PDF’s page, seeking advice and sharing their stories with other individuals, Ms. Giorgilli began responding to their inquiries about life with Parkinson’s herself.

Ensuring the Best Nursing Care for People with Parkinson’s Nurses are often a first point of contact for people living with Parkinson’s. Not only do nurses provide medical care; they also play a key role in ensuring that people with Parkinson’s have the best possible quality of life. Unfortunately, there is little information on the disease designed specifically for nurses. To address this need, PDF led a collaborative effort with the National Parkinson Foundation and the American Parkinson Disease Association in 2010 to develop an online educational nursing course, Parkinson’s Disease Across the Lifespan: A Roadmap for Nurses. This free online course ensures that nurses have the opportunity to learn the latest in Parkinson’s comprehensive care. Designed by Parkinson’s nurse specialists, the course was taped in front of a live audience on May 21 and made available via a live and archived webcast to thousands of nurses throughout the US and around the world. The course includes modules discussing the challenges of Parkinson’s throughout the lifespan, and the vital role that nurses can play in managing care. Modules are led by Parkinson’s nurse specialists, physical therapists

Celebrate Spring Engages Young New Yorkers in the Cause On April 29, 2010, nearly 300 guests joined PDF and the Young New Yorkers for the Fight Against Parkinson’s committee for Celebrate Spring. For the third year, Co-Chairs G. Pennington Egbert III, Missy Egbert Sheehan and

Greg Romero, Andrew Johnston, Emily Davis, Will Rabbe, Natalie Glaser, and Jon Lawrence (left to right) celebrate spring. Celebrate Spring leaders and sponsors (left to right): Missy Egbert Sheehan, G. Pennington Egbert III, Georgina B. Schaeffer.

Georgina B. Schaeffer, whose fathers both lived with Parkinson’s disease, led the event. They did so with the help of a group of nearly 100 New Yorkers also dedicated to advancing a cure for Parkinson’s. Proceeds from the event support a research program identified by Lucien Côté, M.D., a Parkinson’s specialist at Columbia University. PDF thanks its co-chairs and the Young New Yorkers for the Fight Against Parkinson’s committee for their continued support of this event.

“It is imperative to hold events like Celebrate Spring, to reach out to a younger generation and let them know there are ways that they, too, can help in the fight against Parkinson’s.

”

G. Pennington Egbert III

Raising the Stakes, Raising Funds On November 10, 2010, more than 200 guests “Raised the Stakes” for joyed games of chance, such as blackjack, and competed to win exciting prizes. PDF thanks event co-chairs Jose Cruz, Amy Sole, Peter Dorn, Jeffrey Zygler and Dan Spanton and the host committee for their hard work in making this event a success.

DONORS PDF Champions are the dedicated individuals — some with Parkinson's themselves, others who have friends, family and colleagues living with the disease — who give their time and energy to raise awareness of Parkinson's and funds for PDF in their local communities. In 2010, these volunteers have helped to move the cause forward by organizing bake sales, running marathons, participating in bike rides and walk-a-thons ... or by creating their own personalized pages on the PDF website in honor of loved ones with Parkinson's.

June 14, 2010 Dear Parkinson’s Disease Foundation, I just wanted to let you all know about something special my kids did. One Saturday in May, my children, Matthew, age 10 and Juliana, age eight and their friend, Canyon, decided to operate a lemonade stand in front of our house. They had been outside for a while and had already needed a refill on the lemonade when I went out to check on them. I was wearing my Parkinson’s Awareness Month T-shirt and they asked me about it. So I explained what PDF was and a little about Parkinson’s disease. My son said, “Hey! That gives me an idea. Let’s donate the money we make to PDF to help Honey!” (Honey is their Grandmother who has Parkinson’s). They all agreed to donate it. I was very proud of them and think it is a great thing to do with their money! Please accept the donation of $20.40 from my children’s lemonade stand. Thank you, Rhonda Cabello

After the concert, guests enjoyed a wine and cheese reception and chatted with the musicians. Music for Parkinson's was founded by three individuals, led by David Eger, Ph.D., who has worked with PDF for many years — especially as a founding member and Co-Chair of PDF's People with Parkinson's Advisory Council, a group that advises the foundation on its

Golfing for a Cure On August 11, 2010, 100 golfers gathered at the Farms Country Club in Wallingford, CT, for the Fourth Annual Zwick Pro-Am.
