Michael J Fox received the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award and spoke about how he initially hid his Parkinson’s Disease.
Even with his fame and fortune, he feared the stigma of disability.
He turned that fear into advocacy.
He raises money and awareness and reminds us of the importance of compassion.
I’m eternally grateful to him for showing what disability visibility looks like and for always using his platform to make the world a better place.
