My Appeal
Summit for Stem Cell Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that is dependent on donations to support our programs. The proceeds from our fundraising and awareness raising campaign, The Summit Virtual Fitness Challenge, will help support Summit’s programs:
Research Program: Support innovative evidence-based research looking at “old” questions with a new focus.
Patient Support Program:
a) Provide current & reliable information to patients.
b) Patient Financial assistance – For patients enrolled in FDA approved clinical trials in or affecting the field of regenerative medicine.
Educational Program: Dedicated to bridging the informational gap between evidence-based science and the patient & medical communities.
a) Accredited Continuing Medical Education (CME) courses for medical professionals with world-class leaders in regenerative medicine as presenters.
b) Reliable information empowering patients with the ability to separate stem cell hope from hype and to safely navigate stem cell therapies.

My Cause
The Mission: Summit for Stem Cell Foundation’s mission is to support, educate and raise awareness about the development of today’s and tomorrow’s evidence-based regenerative medical therapies focused on Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. It is our goal to empower patients, physicians and caregivers with information to elevate their understanding in order to manage their healthcare.
About the Organization:
Summit would like to share some staggering statistics:
• More people have Parkinson’s disease than multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, and Lou Gehrig’s disease – combined.
• Parkinson’s disease is second only to Alzheimer’s disease. Parkinson’s disease has a current rate of occurrence that predicts PD to be the number one neurodegenerative disease in 10 years – if left unchecked.
• The biggest risk factor is age. The average age is 60.
• Men are more likely to develop Parkinson’s disease.
• If you have a parent or sibling who is affected, you are 2 times more likely to develop Parkinson’s disease.
We are dedicated to changing these statistics.
Summit, having launched a promising answer addressing the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, dares to look outside the box at new and innovative evidence-based regenerative medicine (non-embryonic stem cell) research.
Summit continues its maverick approach looking for the answers to long-standing questions of:
“What is the CAUSE of Parkinson’s?” and
“What is the CURE for Parkinson’s disease?”
