OUR WHY
Chasing a Cure Parkinson’s Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit with one bold goal: ending Parkinson’s disease. Fast.​
Our mission is personal—and relentless.
​​
Founded in 2018 by Wendy Chase in honor of her mother, Sue Chase, we exist to do one thing: fund the cure. This is more than a cause—it’s a promise Wendy made to her mom, who bravely battled Parkinson’s and, before her passing, urged her to "never stop fighting for a cure."
​​
With 26 years in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry, Wendy brings deep expertise and purpose to this mission. Her godfather is currently living with Parkinson’s, and her husband Rob’s aunt is also courageously fighting the disease. For their family, this cause isn’t just close to home—it is home.​
