Now 64, the Back to the Future<\/em> star openly shares the realities of living with Parkinson\u2019s. \u201cI wake up and get the message of what the day is gonna be like, and I try to adjust to it,\u201d he told People<\/em>. He now uses a wheelchair frequently and admits that years of stunt work took a physical toll, leaving him with injuries like broken bones. \u201cI take it easy now, I don\u2019t walk that much anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the physical challenges, Fox\u2019s outlook remains remarkably positive. His Michael J. Fox Foundation has raised over $2 billion for Parkinson\u2019s research, making it one of the most impactful efforts in the fight against the disease.<\/p>\n

In his latest memoir, Future Boy<\/em>, Fox reflects on his life, career, and the profound mission he\u2019s embraced\u2014helping others navigate hardship with hope. He reminds readers that \u201cYou don\u2019t die from Parkinson\u2019s. You die with Parkinson\u2019s,\u201d underscoring his belief in living fully despite the diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Today, Fox focuses on his family, creative projects, and continued advocacy. His journey stands as a powerful testament to the human spirit\u2014proving that even in struggle, there can be strength, laughter, and purpose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
