On the heels of being named one of America's top leaders for 2007 by U.S. News & World Report and Harvard's Center for Public Leadership, Michael J. Fox is now receiving one of the Reform Jewish Movement’s highest honors. Although not called such, he is being recognized as a "mensch" — a person of strength, honor, and basic decency with firmness of purpose. The entire Parkinson community should "kvell" over having such a person leading the fight to get us all to the dance.

Thank you, Mike, from the bottom of my heart!
