Default So Sad watching Michael J. Fox

I grew up watching Alex keaton and now, to see him in his condition is extremely sad. I saw the interview he did with CNN and I think he has it worse than Ali and maybe Janet Reno.

Yeah, it makes me so sad, too! MIF was so cute back in the '80s. I mean, he's still good looking - but his PD does seem pretty bad. I really hope a cure can be found, soom.

It's really hard to watch him now. I adored him on Family Ties and Back to the Future!

I saw an interview with him recently and he said despite everything that's happened to him he still considers himself very lucky. What a great guy!!

I'm glad those delusional religious lunatics were defeated in Missouri so there is one less obstacle to help find a cure for PD and many other horrible debilitating diseases.

Same here. I love him in Family Ties and the Back to the Future Trilogy. It was hard for me to see him in Boston Legal.

Yeah, I really hope a cure for PD can be found real soon. It's not fair that MJF should suffer so much. He's always been a very nice guy.

It is a sad thing to see considering we all saw him as APK in Family Ties and Marty Mcfly in Back to the Future. Despite his condition, I like how he does not feel sorry for himself and how he still considers himself to be lucky for living a happy life. We all hope a cure can be found for PD.

Parkinsons is a horrible disease. My grandfather had it for the last 15-20 years of his life. He died about 3 years ago, but he pulled strong for a long time (he died fron pneumonia, which was induced by PD symptoms).

I hope they do find a cure for it.

I like the way Michael J Fox is so optimistic about this whole thing. I hope that a cure for PD does happen during his lifetime.

Yeah, I really hope a cure can be found, soon. I sometimes do get depressed, when thinking of him.
