Michael J. Fox has been honoured for his contribution to research into Parkinson's disease, after having established a foundation following his own diagnosis decades ago.
The actor, 62, was diagnosed with the condition in around 1991 and he later set up The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, which is "dedicated to finding a cure".
He was honoured for his advocacy in the field at the Bits & Pretzels HealthTech convention in Munich earlier this week, with him accepting an award at the event on Tuesday.
