Michael J. Fox
I
came upon Michael as he was on The View and he is as always quite charming. When I watched the sticoms as a child, I didn’t want to like him because he was just so nerdy it seems. But, as it is now, he is suffering from Parkinson’s Disease and he is made a huge impact on the world by getting the word out about Parkinsons, what it is, what causes it and what to do if you or a loved one have it.
When I was growing up my aunt was the babysitter in our family. Her mother couldn’t have been much into her 50’s at the time but she had Parkinsons’s. I remember being afraid of her at first. I mean, not for any reason other than I didn’t understand the shaking. But, hey I was 2, 3 maybe 4 years old. And if I didn’t see her for a while it would usually throw me off my thought pattern at first, but this woman lived a long happy life with Parkinson’s and as Michael J. Fox has done his very best to do….get the word out so people know what we are dealing with.
His slogan on his non-profit site is “We don’t just fund RESEARCH, We fund RESULTS! As many of you may or my not know, he and Whoopi ran the red carpet together at event lately and they were looking way cool. I thought it right funny but they look au nautrel. What about you?
