Ryan Reynolds is not only a Hollywood icon but also a passionate advocate for families affected by Parkinson’s disease (PD). As a board member of the Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF), he actively participates in the national educational campaign “More to Parkinson’s,” focusing on the often-overlooked symptoms of hallucinations and delusions associated with PD. Through his personal experiences caring for his father, James Reynolds, who faced these challenges, Ryan shares poignant insights into the emotional toll of caregiving and the confusion that can arise from such symptoms.

The MJFF is dedicated to raising awareness and offering resources for those impacted by PD, including caregivers and patients. Their initiatives encompass educational webinars, such as "A Conversation on Parkinson’s-Related Hallucinations and Delusions," and a wealth of informational materials about managing symptoms. With a commitment to improving lives through education and research, MJFF aims to empower individuals and families dealing with Parkinson’s while fostering a supportive community around this complex disease.
