'The ten years since my diagnosis have been the best ten years of my life and I consider myself a lucky man.'
Michael J Fox is best-known for his roles in the blockbuster movie 'Back To The Future' and the hit TV series 'Spin City'. When he announced to the world that he had Parkinson's disease, he had been secretly fighting it for almost ten years. By the time the public started grieving for him, he had stopped grieving for himself. Far from being bitter about being forced into retirement at the height of his career, he considers himself a lucky man.
Combining his trademark ironic sensibility with his keen sense of the absurd, he recounts his life - from his childhood in a small town in western Canada to his meteoric rise in film and television which has made him an international celebrity. He also talks about his lasting and successful marriage to Tracy Pollan whom he met on the set of 'Family Ties', and his experiences as a father to their three children.
With the same energy, passion and humour he invests in his performances, Fox recounts the incredible story of his life-changing experiences - and what Parkinson's has given him: the chance to appreciate a wonderful life and career, his family, and the opportunity to help find a cure.
