This was really cool! I saw a snippet of it posted on social and then tracked down the whole piece. Michael J. Fox is a rad dude. I really like the closing line he signs off with - “With gratitude, optimism is sustainable.”
My Grandpa actually died of Parkinsons, so this obviously reminded me of him… I miss that guy! It’s cool the work that MJF’s foundation has done to identify Parkinson’s earlier and try to track down a cure. Amazing really.
These degenerative diseases take a lot... and they keep taking. Just non-stop until there is nothing left. I will always remember what Madison's dad would say in the middle of his struggle with ALS - "TODAY is my best day, I'm going to make the most of it." I think that is a powerful mindset to always assume that today is your best day and be grateful for everything you get to experience.
Anyways, the clip is worth a watch for sure! Enjoy!
