The Bachmann-Strauss Dystonia & Parkinson Foundation was established in 1995 to find better treatments and cures and to provide medical and patient information for dystonia and Parkinson's disease, two devastating movement disorders that affect over 1.5 million Americans.  The cause is unknown and there is no cure.  To date, the Foundation has raised close to $18 million and funded more that that 161 cutting edge research projects.

As a Member of the Board of Special Advisors and the National Spokesman for the Foundation, Christian hopes to raise further awareness and funds to accelerate the pace of scientific research and continue the momentum that is currently underway to help find cures.
