Michael J. Fox admits it's 'hard for me' to maintain humor during Parkinson's battle
Briefly

At the Michael J. Fox Foundation's annual A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson's gala, Fox showcased his resilience, stating that while maintaining dark humor can be "hard for me," he emphasizes the importance of embracing it to address difficult topics. He believes that humor can help bypass taboos, noting, "Let’s embrace that and make a difference." This reflects his enduring spirit in the face of Parkinson's disease.
During the fundraiser, which raised $116 million for Parkinson's research, Fox expressed gratitude, saying, "I can't believe - a lot of these people I've known for years and years - they're so kind to me. I think because they see an opportunity for a win, for a big advancement, and that's what we're working toward." His sentiments underscore the strong community support and hope for progress in Parkinson’s research.
Fox also showcased his guitar skills, surprising many during his appearance with Coldplay at the Glastonbury Festival, where he played along from his wheelchair. He referred to the experience on social media as "f-ing mind blowing," encapsulating his joy and the emotional significance of the moment, especially with the support of Chris Martin and the band. This highlights his ongoing passion for music despite his condition.
