Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down podcast.

My thanks is always for clicking and listening along.

I've got a really special one for you this week.

Special because you know him and love him from all of his work in movies and on TV.

Special for me, I have to say up front because of the work he's done on Parkinson's disease.

This is of course the great Michael J Fox.

I don't need to lay out his resume for you, family ties back to the future teen wolf spin

city rescue me the good wife.

You know all of that about him, but it's what he did after his diagnosis with Parkinson's

disease at the age of 29.

He was a kid when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease newly married to his wonderful wife,

Tracy.

They had a young son named Sam and the world came down on him that day when a doctor told

him he had Parkinson's disease didn't talk about it publicly for many years eventually at

the age of 40 ends up retiring from acting and putting all of his focus on the Michael J Fox

foundation.

So my father Bill Geist has had Parkinson's disease for 30 years, which is about the same period

of time Michael J Fox has had it and around the same time they both were diagnosed in the

early 90s.

So I love his movies.

I love his TV shows, but I love him more for what he's done raising a billion.

$1 through the Michael J Fox foundation.
