Parky Profiles: Deborah Brooks, CEO of the Michael J. Fox Foundation
This month we’re interviewing a handful of fascinating people as part of our summer ‘Parky Profiles’ series. It’s hard to ignore the activities of The Michael J. Fox Foundation. Since its founding in 2000, it has raised over $3 billion in the hunt for a Parkinson's cure. It's the largest non-profit funder of research in to the disease. We’ve all heard of its founder and namesake, but who is the head honcho making the everyday decisions? We managed to pin down the incredibly busy Deborah Brooks, CEO and co-founder of the foundation. We chat to her about her journey from the world of finance to non-profit and what her dreams are for the MJFF. Movers & Shakers is brought to you in partnership with Cure Parkinson's. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer and Sir Nicholas Mostyn Produced and edited by Ewan Cameron for Podot Associate Producer: Lulu Goad Music by Alex Stobbs Hosted on Acast.
