One of my all time favorite actors and real world leading men. Truly blessed to have seen his career in the industry and his courageous fight for not only himself but for the millions of people globally who have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. 👏 Michael J Fox 💪 💯

[@flashflame4952]

Great speech!! I couldn't help but notice that he is speaking so much clearer! Congrats Michael on receiving this award!

[@scott.a.schmidt]

It takes a lot of guts to stand before the world to tell your story about struggling with Parkinson’s Disease. I admire Michael J. Fox’s courage and I wish him well.

[@joannefairclough7960]

Just when this incredible, talented man could not be any more inspiring and courageous and heartfelt, he does this. He IS this.

Congratulations and thank you, Michael x

[@JBaxter-pi8oj]

Having seen the effects of Parkinsons' on my mother I can only admire how much Mike has done for bringing this disease to the attention of the public and for the work done by scientists and doctors to identify and hopefully counter these effects. Sadly, this will not come in time for many but thank you for doing this, Mike! You've made a huge difference in this world.

[@ro7242]

I THINK THE INTIRE COUNTRY WATCHING THIS VIDEO SHOULD ALL GIVE 2 THUMBS UP FOR MIKES HARD WORK ,AND HE MIGHT JUST BE THE ONE THAT MIGHT BEAT THIS DISEASE, WHAT A GREAT EXAMPLE OF COURAGE AND STRENGTH HES BEEN

When you watch this man, it makes you reconsider all of the small ridiculous things in your life that you complain about. If Michael can look still look towards the future with hope, grace and gratitude with EVERYTHING he has to live and cope with, so can those of us dealing with a lot less. Congratulations to him.

[@MeMeDaVinci]

I love Michael J. Fox. When he could have easily fallen out of sight, when he made the decision to become front and center with Parkinson's, he really became an inspiration to many with a variety of diseases. There is no one like him. With him being a talented, class act at a young age, it makes me think I want to watch Back to the Future again.

Well done, Mike. My family is dealing with a disease as well, one considered rare, and one not even 'discovered' until 1989, so not a lot being studied on it.

Eric Stholz was the original Marty McFly and that didn't work out. MJF took over and made the perfect movie. Then only to go on to this. God works in mysterious ways.

[@ashleysavillewatson1748]

Well lived. Well invested. Well responded to, in the right spirit (2 Cor 12:8-11; Eph 5:20; 1 Thess 5:16-18). Well done to date. "Your path shall be as a shining light that shines brighter and brighter till the perfect day" (Prov 4:18) if you invite the risen Messiah Jesus, "the Shepherd and (Precious Corner)Stone of Israel" (Gen 49:24; John 14:19; 1 Peter 2:5-7), to orchestrate the "invincible Summer" you're hoping for, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Have no fear (Phil 1:28,29). Trials of faith are necessary for our sanctification by refining fire, for deepening relationship with our Maker (1 Peter 1:3-9; 5:6-12). Great things ahead
