Fox famously founded the non-profit Michael J. Fox Foundation in 2000, which focuses on finding a cure for the disease from which Fox suffers.<\/p>\n<p>Before taking the stage to give an uplifting and optimistic speech himself, Fox was presented the award by his good friend Woody Harrelson.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Michael J. Fox sets the ultimate example of how to fight and how to live. And today, he is as beloved for his activism as he is for his acting,&#8221; Harrelson shared with a crowd of A-listers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/michael-j-fox-reveals-suffered-multiple-broken-bones-over-past-year-been-struggle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>MICHAEL J.

Fox never asked for the role: Parkinson&#8217;s patient or disease advocate. But make no mistake, it is his greatest performance,&#8221; Harrelson noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Michael brought the world to the same place where we all feel invested in finding a cure for a cruel disease. Vulnerable: yes. A victim: never. An inspiration: always. And a living, breathing symbol and singular voice to help advance progress toward a cure,&#8221; Harrelson said.<\/p>\n<p>Harrelson relayed that Fox&#8217;s foundation has already raised over a billion dollars for the ailment, saying that Fox&#8217;s &#8220;immense talent is surpassed only by the depth of his courage and commitment to a cause.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 767px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/640\/320\/GettyImages-1442888582.jpg?ve=1&#038;tl=1\" alt=\"Woody Harrelson spoke candidly about his relationship with Michael J.
