""Thank you everyone for your prayers and concerns, but contrary to reports, I have not given up hope in my battle with Parkinson's!" the 56-year-old Super Bowl champion wrote on X. "Not sure where this came from - but just like I never gave up on the gridiron - not going to start now. I pray there will be a cure one day and I appreciate you all.""
""As you well know, there's no cure," Favre said. "I hear from time to time, 'Well, they're five years away from a cure.' You know, I hope that that's the case. I really do. But I'm not holding my breath." He mentioned Michael J. Fox and Muhammad Ali as people who "have really set the bar high on Parkinson's and treatments and things of that nature.""
Brett Favre, 56, revealed he is in early stages of idiopathic Parkinson's, experiencing rigidity and stiffness, particularly on his right side.

He told TMZ his condition has progressed faster than expected but that he remains thankful and blessed. On his podcast he acknowledged there is no cure yet, expressed cautious hope, and cited Michael J. Fox and Muhammad Ali as examples who have advanced Parkinson's awareness and treatments.
