Dear friends and family,
On January 16, 2026, we lost a dear friend, husband, and father, Ron Cheselka. Ron fought Parkinson's with courage, never complained, and kept us laughing.
Ron had a long-running joke where he would greet friends with "Give me $35!" Even though I don't remember borrowing $35, I'd like to pay him back that money via a donation toward researching a cure for the Parkinson's disease, which he fought so bravely, and on behalf of Ron's family, we ask the same of Ron's supporters in lieu of flowers.
The donations go directly to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. This organization is on a mission to find a cure for Parkinson's disease and improve the lives of those affected by it.
- Your donations will help fund innovative clinical trials that pave the way for new treatments.
- Contributions will also support the development of therapies that enhance the quality of life for those living with Parkinson’s today.
