Více o knize

A funny, personal, and beautifully written account of a 30-year-old man diagnosed with an 80-year-old's disease. In September 1998, Michael J. Fox revealed he had been secretly battling Parkinson's disease for seven years. The world reacted with shock, but Fox had already accepted his diagnosis and moved forward. With his characteristic humor and energy, he shares his life story, from his childhood in Canada to his rise as a global celebrity in film and television. Most importantly, he reflects on the past decade, during which he has faced his illness with unwavering support from his wife, family, and friends. He discusses how Parkinson's has allowed him to appreciate his life and career more deeply and has motivated him to advocate for a cure and raise awareness about the disease. Fox considers himself fortunate for the perspective his condition has given him. Profits from his book are donated to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, which aims to accelerate the search for a cure. The Foundation actively identifies promising research and raises funds to support millions affected by the disorder.
