Book Description
Growing up in Canada, Mike Fox dreamed of playing hockey—or being a writer, or a musician—anything that wasn’t nine to five. Somewhere along the line, Michael realized he was too short to play hockey, and what he was really good at was being funny. By the age of 15, Michael’s dreams had changed to acting. From his first part in Leo and Me to his last in the successful sitcom Spin City, Michael J. Fox had led what appeared to be a happy and successful life. With a family and a wonderful wife, he had everything to be thankful for. Then, one day, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Several years later, this degenerative brain disease ended his career. But Michael still thinks of himself as a "lucky man," and these days, he devotes himself and his resources to conquering Parkinson’s disease.
