Ryan Reynolds
I’ve been a board member of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for nearly 15 years. Every April we make time & space for Parkinson’s Awareness Month. It’s a time for those impacted by Parkinson’s and its symptoms to be seen and their stories heard. If you’ve scrolled this feed, you know my father had Parkinson’s, and it was hard on him. It was also hard for my mom who was his caregiver. That’s why we’ve shared our own experiences with the disease, and I was honored to speak more about our experience at the Parkinson’s Awareness Month panel as part of the More to Parkinson’s campaign, along with Dr. Fiona Gupta, and Jimmy Choi from the Michael J. Fox Foundation patient council. Our hope is these conversations put a spotlight on the importance of shared stories and experiences surrounding Parkinson’s-related hallucinations and delusions to raise awareness and reduce stigma around these lesser known symptoms of the disease. If you or someone you love is touched by this disease and its symptoms, check out MoreToParkinsons.com for more info. #MoreToParkinsons #Sponsored

Thank you Ryan, this was the most fun I’ve ever had talking about the most unfun subject in Parkinson’s disease. Thank you for all you do for the Foundation, and for the Parkinson’s Community! Finally, thank you for reminding us that - “Life doesn't happen to be something that just happens to us.” - Blue Shirt Guy Let’a get out there live, fight, and experience life regardless of the obstacles they throw our way.

Thank you for hosting our panel discussion and sharing your family’s experience! Telling your father’s story has made an important impact on increasing awareness of Parkinson’s Disease-related hallucinations and delusions.
