Fox then took the TIME100 Gala stage and spoke about how he has come to relate the following stanza from Hughes Mearns’ “Antigonish,” one of his late father’s favorite poems, to his experience with early-onset Parkinson’s: “Yesterday, upon the stair/I met a man who wasn’t there/He wasn’t there again today/I wish, I wish he’d go away…”
He went on to thank the doctors, scientists, researchers, and others working to help Parkinson’s patients climb the stairs to their future. “We now know we are dealing with not just a clinical approach to Parkinson’s disease, but a truly biological understanding of its symptoms, progress, and clues towards finding a cure sooner than we ever would’ve hoped for.”
“He also falls a lot. Not just because he has Parkinson’s,” he wrote. “He falls a lot because he’s unafraid to fly.”
