A search won’t tell you that home there. after being diagnosed with this disease, Christina Korines is living with Parkinson’s. She gave the keynote speech at the Parkinson’s Foundation 2019 New York Gala. 1 This excerpt is part of her speech that inspires us to do more. ANNUAL REPORT 201 9 MESSAGE FROM THE CEO Together, we expanded our reach in 2019, making life better for our Parkinson’s disease (PD) community by developing our care, research and education efforts. We impacted more people than ever before — launching exciting new research initiatives, reaching the underserved and closing the information gap for the 60,000 Americans newly diagnosed this year. In 2019, we launched two new initiatives that will significantly impact the lives of people living with Parkinson’s: • PD GENEration: Mapping the Future of Parkinson’s Disease is a national initiative that offers free genetic testing for clinically relevant PD-related genes and free genetic counseling. By contributing genetic testing results to this flagship program, we have the opportunity to help accelerate scientific research to improve our understanding of PD and potentially identify new and/or better treatment options. • Newly Diagnosed: Building a Better Life with Parkinson's Disease is a program that connects those newly diagnosed with the right information and resources to live better with PD. We want them to know that they are not alone in this journey and that we are here to help. Last year, we honored former Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell for his contributions to the Parkinson’s community. His words inspire us to further our reach. “Can I say that I am going to defeat Parkinson’s? Not yet,” Governor Rendell said. “Someday soon maybe people will be able to say that. Can I say I’m going to fight this as long as I can? Absolutely.” Our 2020 goals are designed to inspire optimism as we continue to support our international community. The individual donors, foundations and corporations in this Annual Report help us change lives every day and get us closer to the promise of a cure. Thank you for your incredible support in 2019 and in the new decade. Together, we are a powerful force in the fight against Parkinson’s Foundation CEO and President John Lehr; Parkinson’s disease! former Governor of Pennsylvania Edward G. Rendell; Chairman and CEO of Johnson & Johnson Alex Gorsky; Thank you, and television personality Willie Geist at the Parkinson’s Foundation New York Gala on May 7, 2019. John L. Lehr Howard D.

As we progress towards precision medicine in Parkinson’s, the Foundation launched a new study called PD GENEration: Mapping the Future of Parkinson’s Disease. The first-of-its-kind national initiative offers free genetic testing and counseling to accelerate enrollment in clinical trials. Between 10 and 15 percent of participants can expect to find out if they have a genetic risk factor for Parkinson’s. Results will also be accessible in the future to help us develop improved treatments.

(Photo: @TaFPhoto) Aliphine Tuliamuk, Molly Seidel, and Sally Kipyego earn spots on the U.S. Olympic marathon team 1 On Saturday in Atlanta, Aliphine Tuliamuk, Molly Seidel, and Sally Kipyego ran their way onto the Olympic Team by going 1–2–3 in the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. I thought Sarah Lorge Butler put it perfectly in this article for Runner’s World, when she called the top three “completely unexpected and utterly logical at the same time.” I still think Seidel making the team is slightly illogical, but I’ll explain later. There were so many excellent marathoners in contention, it was inevitable that some excellent runners would be left off the team. But for Jordan Hasay, Sara Hall, Emily Sisson, Molly Huddle, Des Linden, and Kellyn Taylor to all be left off, that’s the surprise. How it went down The race went out slowly, relatively speaking, with most of the 444 starters right together through the first mile, which the leaders hit in 6:13. The biggest development in the first mile, as far as I know, is that Kaitlin Goodman went down and got trampled. She got back in the race, but her injuries ultimately took her out of the race shortly before halfway, and it’s frustrating that she never got to test her fitness on this stage.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    ACHILLES INTERNATIONAL 2019 ANNUAL REPORT MOVING INTO A NEW DECADE WITH ACHILLES As we begin 2020, Achilles International celebrates its history and accomplishments of the past four decades and enthusiastically enters the new one with an eye towards growth. At Achilles International, our primary focus has always been to bring hope, inspiration and the joys of achievement to all. Since our founding in 1983, we have empowered over 150,000 athletes of all ages and ability levels to participate in endurance events around the globe. This number does not reflect the hundreds of thousands of volunteers, family members and friends who experience the impact of our work through their relationships and their affiliations. In 2019 alone, Achilles reached roughly 15,000 athletes with disabilities around the world including 8,500 children across the United States to whom we brought our Achilles Kids fitness program. During the past year, we sent delegations to marquee endurance events including marathons in New York City, Chicago, Detroit, Washington D.C., Disney World, Berlin, Tokyo, Medellin, as well as the U.S. Para Triathlon National Championships, among many others. Additionally, over 10,000 athletes participated in Achilles’ own Hope & Possibility® 4 mile races held in locations such as Nashville, New Jersey, Hartford, New York, New Zealand, Germany and Mongolia. As we transition into the new year and a new era, Achilles occupies a unique position at the intersection of two powerful cultural movements – wellness and inclusion. With these social and cultural winds behind it, Achilles sets its sights on broadening its impact in terms of the number of individuals it serves, the positive outcomes it influences and the awareness it inspires.

Prior to taking your Econometrics course sophomore year, I would have never guessed that I would learn to love running regressions in Stata. Your iterative approach to both econometrics and life inspires me. Our conversations, ranging from running and other sports, to academics and careers, have always brought me joy. Thank you to Professors Cichello, Grubb and Mortimer for pushing me to pursue my academic interests in Economics to the fullest. Thanks also to Professors Cole and Bannon for making your core classes incredibly enjoyable through your enthusiastic style of instruction and generosity of spirit. Thank you to the Computer Science department for teaching me how to learn independently. And thanks to Tracy Regan for always taking an interest in my life and work and being a great friend. Thanks to my friends—Erin, Charlie, Liam, Colin, Ruff, and others—for listening to me ramble about a pair of shoes. Thanks for reminding me to both work hard and play hard. To the folks I have gotten to run with over the years—Mike, Dan, Tom, Kamm, Russ, Sean, Aidan, Alex, Quinn and everyone else—thanks for all the conversations and comradery, for keeping me coming back and keeping me humble.
