Background
We list here a few causes and institutions that were near and dear to Julie's heart, but she and Will were involved in countless community endeavors and social justice causes, so a donation to the charity of your choosing would be a great way to honor her memory.
- The Parkinson's Foundation. Julie was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2018, and approached the news with her characteristic strength, courage, grace, and humor. The family helped raised money for the Parkinson's Foundation through its annual Moving Day events, and Julie expressed a desire to further support the organization's mission to improve care and advance research toward a cure, in hopes of benefiting the 10 million people living with Parkinson’s Disease who urgently need better treatments and care.
- RESULTS. Julie and Will volunteered with an anti-poverty organization called RESULTS for many years, joining a network of volunteers across the U.S. to advocate for policy changes to ameliorate poverty through improved access to education, health, and economic opportunity.
- St. Therese Chinese Catholic School and Church. St. Thérèse of Lisieux, popularly known in English as "The Little Flower of Jesus" (or simply, "The Little Flower") was Julie's chosen patron saint. She and Will enjoyed attending services on occasion at St. Therese Catholic Church in Chinatown, particularly for the observation of the Feast Day of St. Therese.

Our Promise
The challenges of living with Parkinson’s disease, improving care and finding a cure can seem overwhelming. No individual or group can do it alone.
We are the Parkinson’s Foundation. A community. An alliance. A movement. Where people living with Parkinson’s, families, caregivers, scientists, advocates, donors and volunteers join forces to improve lives and advance toward a cure.
For over half a century, we’ve made tangible progress on all fronts, from the largest clinical study of Parkinson’s ever, which has significantly improved care, to breakthrough treatments. Today, we continue to:
Provide life-changing support to people living with Parkinson’s and their caregivers.
Fund game-changing research on treatment and care.
Convene the best minds from every corner of the global Parkinson’s community to find new approaches that enhance care and move us closer to a cure.
Everything we do is based on experience and informed by facts. The people we serve deserve nothing less than the highest level of support based on validated research and deep encouragement grounded in reality. Our donors and volunteers need to know that we are 100% accountable. This is why we focus on verifiable outcomes, not vague promises.In partnership with the entire Parkinson’s community, we are making a real difference in people’s lives. And we have the research, the data – and the stories – to prove it. This is what happens when we all pull together as one global, determined and inspired movement. Better Lives. Together.
