Michael J Fox Makes Wife Beam in New Photos despite Parkinson's Fight

• Michael J. Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at 29. He still gets emotional about his wife, Tracy Pollan's, first reaction to the news.

• Fox lost hope in 2018, his darkest period, but his wife stood by his side no matter what.

• The couple of 34 years just was spotted during a low-profile date. Their new photos inspired fans.

The face of the "Back To The Future" film franchise, Micheal J. Fox, was recently spotted at a hockey game along with his wife, Tracy Pollan. The actor has suffered from Parkinson's disease since he was 29, and the illness essentially put a stop to his career.

The sighting came as a rare surprise, considering his state of health. Fox and Pollan looked incredibly relaxed as they sat in comfortable clothes and watched the game. They chatted away happily, and the date night seemed to be going incredibly well.

Fans were over the moon when they heard about the public appearance and said they were glad to see him enjoying his time out and about. One fan said when he "gets very low, he still fights his way back up again." Another mused:

"He sure is an amazing example of how to turn lemons into lemonade!"

Fox sat cheering in a black leather jacket, a blue plaid shirt over a t-shirt, and a beard, while Pollan beamed in a heavy black coat and a warm cardigan. The two seemed to enjoy their casual date together.

How Did Tracy React When 29-Year-Old Michael Was Diagnosed with Parkinson's?

Throughout his struggle with Parkinson's, Fox has had his wife's love and support to keep him going. It was an emotional moment for him when he first heard his diagnosis, but he said her steadfastness gave him strength when she found out.

After the surgery, he was just finding his feet again when he had a nasty fall, which set him back even more.

Her stoic reaction to the news and her constant support made Fox shed a tear when he remembered the first time he told her about his condition. He said she hasn't given up on him ever since she initially found out.

She stuck with him, no matter how bad his physical or emotional condition became. He said she always used humor to see him through his worst moments and never batted an eye when he needed her help.

Even when Fox was at his lowest, Pollan kept trying to see the best in every situation. Her incredible sense of humor carried him through some of the most challenging moments in his life, and he commended her for her strength.

How Tracy Stayed with Michael in 2018 When He Lost Hope

In 2018, Fox went through more than he ever thought he could survive. He lost hope when doctors notified him that he had a tumor growing in his spine. He underwent surgery, and he had to learn how to walk again. He commented:

"I couldn't make lemonade out of this. In fact, I was out of the lemonade business."

After the surgery, he was just finding his feet again when he had a nasty fall, which set him back even more. Fox broke his arm, and he had no more optimism left. After the accident, he was angry, and he started questioning himself.

But with his wife and four children's help, Fox managed to keep going. Although things got worse before they got better, the retired actor pushed forward and regained his confidence and optimism.

These days, things are starting to look up again. Fox has managed to walk on his own again and feels much better about his circumstances. Along the way, he founded the Michael J. Fox Foundation to help others with similar conditions.
