A contest entry in Andre The Blog Monkey Prompt Week 2
My role model is Michael J. Fox. When he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s it was around the same time as my dad. When it was announced that he was going on an experimental drug to help subdue the symptoms and extend life a little longer I knew that there was hope for my dad.
My dad was able to get on this medication and live a better life for the next 15 years. This was a great moment in our lives to have our dad able to feed himself without shaking and take care of himself without help.

To this day, I admire and respect Michael J. Fox for standing up and sharing his life with the public and educating others on Parkinson’s Disease.
