Yes, I agree with Janet. I think he did a good job. We have to remember he was not out there representing the PD community. He was out there to tell his own story, and I think he did that very well - and as an extra bonus, he has given the PD community some publicity. No, he didn't tell the whole story - but that is not his story, its my story and your story, and we have to tell it.If and when he aligns himself with our community, then he should speak on our behalf - and then we would have the right to criticize him. But right now he is out there, on his own, doing something very difficult - and I think he did it well. Thank you , Michael J. Fox, for bringing the world's attention to Parkinson's Disease.
