Local Illinois Parkinson's Foundation in DVD extra of Spin City season one

Nov. 3, 2008 - PRLog -- Six years after the final episode aired on ABC, the first season of this sitcom about the oddball-workings of the New York City mayor’s office is finally on DVD. Michael J. Fox plays deputy mayor in one of his most memorable rolls that was finally taken from him by a progressing case of Parkinson’s disease. DVD extras include episode commentaries and interviews with cast members and the show’s creators. The most touching extra is an inspiring video showcasing Team Fox, The Michael J. Fox Foundation's community fundraising program.

One of many teams and participants included in this Team Fox Video is Focus on Cure Foundation for Parkinson's. (http://www.focusonacure.org). To date Focus on Cure has donated over $21,000 to Team Fox and continues to hold multiple events throughout the year to benefit Team Fox's research programs and Focus on a Cure's awareness campaigns.

During this inspiring video extra you will meet some of the incredible teams and individuals that have collectively contributed to date 3.5 million dollars for research related to Parkinson's disease. You will see the creative ways that people who are passionate in helping the Parkinson's community raise the type of awareness and funding to find a cure for Parkinson's as the Susan G. Komen Foundation has successfully done for Breast Cancer patients.

Some of the featured successful events are Katie Clark's "Thanks a Latte Program", Vincent Simone's 10 Mountains 10 Years program or Mary McNaught's "Pancakes for Parkinson’s" events. Focus on a Cure foundation is a proud member of Team Fox and supports the work they are doing to find a cure and improve the quality of life for Patients living with Parkinson's disease.
