Michael J. Fox, the beloved Back to the Future star, shared an emotional update about his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s disease. Diagnosed at just 29, the now 64-year-old actor continues to inspire millions with his courage and optimism.

“I’m not going to lie — it’s getting tougher,” Fox admitted. “But I try to live one day at a time and focus on what I can do, not what I can’t.” Despite facing increasing challenges with balance and frequent falls, he refuses to give up. “Every time I fall, I get back up,” he said.

Since founding The Michael J. Fox Foundation in 2000, he has raised more than $2 billion for Parkinson’s research, driving major advances toward better treatments and a potential cure.

Fox credits his wife, Tracy Pollan, and their family as his greatest source of strength and love through the years. Fans have filled social media with messages calling him “a symbol of hope” and “a real-life hero.”

Though Fox admits he may not see a cure in his lifetime, his belief in science and humanity remains strong. “There’s always reason to hope,” he said softly — a message that continues to inspire millions.
