Updates

Update from Nov. 15, 2025

Tom's 14yo grandson, Aiden, is a dedicated Cadet Second Lieutenant in the Civil Air Patrol cadet program. CAP is a meaningful part of Aiden's life and he recently received the Brigadier General Billy Mitchell Award, an achievement earned by only 15 % of all CAP cadets nationwide.

CAP is a youth development program (modeled after the U.S. Air Force) that teaches leadership skills and provides opportunities for hands-on experience through real-world missions, including emergency services and aerospace activities. Participants advance through a series of achievements, earning honors and increased responsibilities along the way. Many of the nation’s astronauts, pilots, engineers and scientists first explored their careers through CAP. Read more about CAP and Aiden's squadron here: https://ky039.cap.gov/about-u…

Donations to CAP Louisville Cadet Squadron GLR-KY-039 will be used to sponsor future cadets and will cover their fees, travel, and other squadron activities.

Donations accepted via Venmo (venmo.com/u/annamolder) Cash or checks can be mailed to:
Civil Air Patrol KY 039, c/o 1Lt Heather Gregory

Frequently asked questions

Answered by a team member at The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research

  • What is your mission?

    The Michael J. Fox Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's disease through an aggressively funded research agenda and to ensuring the development of improved therapies for those living with Parkinson's today.

  • How are donations used?

    The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s research strategy — projects and activities we fund and prioritize for scientific attention and problem-solving — evolves rapidly in concert with advances made in Parkinson’s disease (PD) research. The past two decades have brought substantial growth in understanding PD, in particular the role of genetics and the disease mechanisms that are influenced by genetic changes. This has led to the development and testing of several experimental therapies that have the potential to slow or stop progression — patients’ greatest unmet need.
