A clip from the documentary shows Fox stumbling and falling hard on a New York City sidewalk. A passerby checked on him. His response: “You knocked me off my feet.”
“Now I break stuff,” he said. “This arm and this arm, this elbow. I broke my face. I broke my hand from falling.”Falling, he noted is “a big killer” for people with Parkinson’s. He also noted that aspirating food and pneumonia are risks. In 2000, Fox launched the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, which has supported some of the most ambitious research in the field. In April, researchers announced, identifying forms of a protein and a testing method that can be used to diagnose Parkinson’s much earlier and reduce the numbers of people who are wrongly diagnosed with the disease.
Pauley, who interviewed Fox early in his career, noted that the disease has taken a visible toll. “Every time I see you, I can see it’s taken a little bit more of something,” she told him.
