Last night, Betsy & I saw Michael J. Fox speak. He was with Micheal Pollan (who happens to be his brother in law) and it was an interview setting with 2 chairs on the stage. Pollan interviewed MJF on things from his film career to Parkinsons to his political stance on stem cells to his new book.
MJF was very funny too. He is very witty and throws out one liners that you have to catch. He is very inspirational because he says that Parkinsons is a gift. By getting PD, he learned what his life work is and that is to raise money & awareness for PD. His foundation has raised & given away over $1.4million to research & PD patients.
I'm sure you are wondering how he looked & sounded. And, he looked and sounded great. He was obviously moving around but I would say less than he was on Oprah a few weeks ago. He has 5 kids, a wife, best selling books, and a foundation - many gifts in his life.
*MJF trivia - Did you know that J is not his real middle initial. It was added in show biz as his stage name.
