Fox underwent surgery to remove a benign tumor on his spine and following the procedure he has been having trouble walking and also has broken multiple bones.

In his fourth book 'No Time Like the Future: An Optimist Considers Mortality', he revealed that "there is a time for everything, and my time of putting in a 12-hour workday, and memorizing seven pages of dialogue, is best behind me," the activist revealed in his fourth book." In 2000, he founded the Michael J Fox Foundation for research on the condition and has raised more than $1 billion.
