Greetings, Trainers! My name is Aidan, and I’m continuing my journey to help find a cure for Parkinson’s Disease — with the power of the Pokémon community by my side.

In 2023, I launched the first Pokémon for Parkinson’s fundraiser. While it didn’t reach its full goal, it still made meaningful progress — and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who supported it. That campaign has since expired, so this is Pokémon for Parkinson’s 2.0, a new opportunity to keep pushing forward.

Parkinson’s Disease affects millions of people and currently has no cure. It can make everyday life incredibly challenging. But researchers are making real strides every year — and that progress is fueled by people who care enough to help.

That’s why this campaign supports The Michael J. Fox Foundation, the largest nonprofit funder of Parkinson’s research. Their mission is simple and powerful: accelerate the breakthroughs that will change lives.

If you donated to the original campaign, thank you so much. You’ve already helped move the needle.

For this new chapter, I’m not asking you to donate again — sharing the campaign is more than enough. Spreading the word helps new supporters discover the cause and keeps the momentum going.

Whether you donate, share, or simply read this message, you’re part of the journey. That’s the true strength of the Pokémon community — we show up, we support each other, and we believe in a better future.

As Michael J. Fox says, “Optimism is the cure for everything.”

Let’s keep that optimism alive.

Thank you for being part of this adventure.

Special thanks to the original donors:

John Thorne and friends of The Wizards Duel, Daniel White, Paul Dugan, Charles Hoeffken, Diane Gillet, Julie Rockwood, and Jeremy Stanford.
