4 Gifts That Give Back to Parkinson's Disease Research

4 Gifts That Give Back to Parkinson's Disease Research

As snow falls around our Manhattan office, it's hard to forget the season upon us. The holidays are a wonderful time to spend with family and friends - and one of the greatest joys is watching someone you love open a gift that you know will put a smile on their face. This year, give a present that also helps fund the work we do at The Michael J. Fox Foundation. Thanks to the generosity of a number of companies and individuals, you can tackle your holiday shopping and make a positive impact on Parkinson’s research at the same time. Check out these great gift ideas below.

Shopping on Amazon? Use Amazon Smile and a small portion of your total purchase can support the Foundation, too! Learn more here

Back to the Future LEGO Delorean: For kids, and for those who are still kids at heart, LEGO created their Back to the Future kit in 2013, but it has been so popular that it will remain on sale through the 2014 holiday season. A portion of the sale of every kit benefits The Michael J. Fox Foundation, and to date LEGO has donated more than $125,000 to MJFF. Be sure to get your hands on this awesome set (which comes complete with Marty McFly and Doc Brown Minifigures) before supplies run out, and help LEGO make an even bigger positive impact on PD research. Purchase here

You Are Here: The world’s favorite astronaut, Christopher Hadfield, has returned from his 6-month stay at the International Space Station and wants to share that incredible experience with everyone. His second best-selling book, You Are Here, features countless beautiful photos of our planet and beyond, taken by the astronaut himself. It’s the perfect coffee table book for anyone with an adventurous spirit. Thanks to the immense generosity of the Hadfield family, 100% of their proceeds from the book’s sales in the U.S. will go directly to The Michael J. Fox Foundation. Purchase here
