Parkinson’s disease affects one in every 100 people over the age of 60, but it can be diagnosed as young as 18. It is a chronic neurological disorder that deteriorates the brain over time. Millions of people world wide are living with Parkinson’s disease; one of those people is actor Michael J. Fox (<em>Spin City, Back to the Future</em>). Fox developed the Michael J. Fox Foundation to help find better treatment options and ultimately a cure for Parkinson’s (Living). The foundation has done several television ads to help promote awareness and raise money to find a cure.
