My Mom was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2011. Michael and his foundation have had a tremendous impact on our lives, not just in the medical advancements and treatment my Mom can get, but as someone who gave my family a lot of hope. My Mom is doing (relatively) great today and part of that is because of Michael J Fox.

My mother's roommate from college started to develop her Parkinson's symptoms in her 30s. She in now in her 70s and been lucky to have some excellent medical care through the years. She was never afraid to try new experimental drugs or surgeries. It's not something she likes having but the body can deal with a lot.

Such a beautiful moment. I was at New York Comic Con this past weekend. But sadly, I couldn't be there for this. I wish I had been. Back to the Future is still one of the best movie trilogies of all time. And seeing Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox together is a nice reminder of just how special that movie was and how special these two men truly are. 😊

I’ve heard plenty of bad things about Michael J Fox. There are numerous claims that prior to his diagnosis, he was a massive douche.

Then, his illness changed him for the better. Changed his perspective, and he started treating those around him, in both his personal and professional life better.

Who knows what’s true, but I think he had a reputation as being a kind of cocky, cliché a-lister before Parkinson’s.
