The "Fight for MORE" campaign is an effort to provide Parkinson's disease patients and those that care for them the support, education and resources they need to battle the disease. As the national spokesperson, Ali feels this organization fills, a void in the Parkinson's caretaker community. They came to me and asked me would I be interested in participating in this campaign for caregivers. It was just an epiphany when they said it because it's something you always knew should be out there, but it wasn't," Ali said, It offers caregiver tips and educational resources. "One of the other things I think is important is to find a very good Parkinson's specialist. That's critical," Ali said.
Parkinson's disease has diminished his voice and slowed his body, but Muhammad Ali still exercises regularly in a gym at his home in Berrien Springs, Mich., punching a heavy bag and sometimes sparring playfully in a boxing ring, his wife says. He hasn't driven a car in 15 years and "he's no longer the type to pick up the phone and call friends the way he used to, but we converse," his wife, Lonnie, said in an interview in the March- April issue of Neurology Now, an American Academy of Neurology magazine for patients, their families and caregivers.

We've raised $52 million in the last 15 years to support charities in Phoenix," said Lonnie Ali, as her silent but definitely knowledgable husband looked out across the star-packed audience. Host (and birthday girl) Reba McEntire, honorees Forest Whitaker, M...
I was thinking: We know all about Muhammad Ali's prodigious boxing talent. We know all about his clever and poetic wit, from days as the brash young professional from Louisville. And we know all about the ravishing effects that Parkinson's disease has had on his body. But now, in a letter from Ali to 11-year-old Tramaine Williams of New Haven that is kissed with introspection, sensitivity and maturity, we get a peak into the Muhammad Ali of today.
