After battling Parkinson\u2019s disease for nine years, Hank Bode passed away in January 2025. Throughout that journey, Hank and his son Lincoln closely followed the work of the Michael J. Fox Foundation, inspired by its commitment to directing 100% of donations to Parkinson\u2019s research and its relentless pursuit of a cure.  To honor his father and raise funds for Parkinson\u2019s research, Lincoln decided to do something extraordinary. As a member of Team Fox, he took on the World Marathon Challenge \u2014 running 7 half marathons in 7 days across 7 continents. Beginning January 31, 2026 in Antarctica, Lincoln raced through Cape Town, Perth, Dubai, Madrid, Brazil, and finished in Miami on February 6, 2026. For seven days his life was run, eat, fly, sleep then repeat.&amp;nbsp;  He pushed his limits, carried his father\u2019s legacy across the globe, and completed the challenge with a story that will inspire anyone facing adversity.
