Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991 but only went public seven years later. He told the audience at the event that Lloyd has always been there supporting him over the years.

“Parkinson’s is the gift that keeps on taking - but it’s a gift, and I wouldn’t change it for anything,” Fox reportedly said.

“People like Chris have been there a lot for me, and so many of you have. It’s not about what I have, it’s about what I’ve been given — the voice to get this done, and help people out.”
