After the Back to the Future star, who was diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disease in 1991, was honored with a Presidential Medal of Freedom for his efforts to find a cure to Parkinson’s, he shared a glimpse into the Jan. 4 ceremony, where President Joe Biden presented him the medal. And with it, he shared a message to all of those also fighting his fight.
“On behalf of the million or so people living with Parkinson’s, and the millions more who love them, I am proud and honored to accept the Medal of Freedom from President Biden,” Fox wrote in a Jan. 6 Instagram post. “No doubt I get the most attention in the PD community, but this is our fight and support and recognition on this level is a great boost.”
Alongside his humble message, the Emmy winner shared photos of himself being given his medal from the president, as well as a sweet family picture alongside wife Tracy Pollan and kids Sam, 35, twins Aquinnah and Schuyler, 29, and Esmé, 23.
