Stars Flock to Fox Foundation Parkinson’s Benefit

Last night was a good one for Parkinson’s disease research as the Michael J Fox Foundation held its “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s” benefit at the Sheraton New York Hotel and Towers.

And everyone from Michael J. Fox and family, to newlyweds Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds, to Martin Scorsese and funnyman Ben Stiller all showed up to lend their support.

It’s no wonder the event had such an amazing turnout - The Who showed up to give a rousing performance in the Metropolitan Ballroom as part of the festivities.

Fox was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease back in 1991, and ever since he’s been making a concerted effort to raise awareness and funding for medical research.
