Michael J. Fox supported by wife Tracy Pollan and three daughters at actor’s Parkinson’s gala
Michael J. Fox attended the 26th annual A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s gala in New York with his wife, Tracy Pollan, and their three daughters. Founded by Fox, the event raises money for Parkinson’s research and marks more than two decades of work by his foundation.
Pollan said the foundation’s fundraising goes directly to scientists and that research is making progress. The evening at the Waldorf Astoria included performances by comedians Josh Johnson and Tom Papa, with music from John Mayer and Brad Paisley. Fox was diagnosed at 29 and recently returned to acting in the third season of *Shrinking*.
