Actor Michael J. Fox was all smile with his 10-year-old daughter Esme as they celebrated Parkinson’s Research Day at the Empire State Building today, April 8. Today has been proclaimed The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research Day in New York City, and to celebrate Esme sported a ‘Team Fox’ t-shirt and flipped the light switch at the Empire State Building lighting.

They honored Parkinson’s patients, supporters, and researchers worldwide, and after the ceremony the father-daughter pair went up to the 82nd floor to have some fun on the observation deck.

So cute!

Michael J. Fox has found a unique way to beat his children’s fear of the effects of Parkinson’s Disease. He has made it into a game. Fox uses the physical shakes he suffers as a form of play with his children Samuel, 18, twins Aquinnah and Schuyler, both 12, and six-year-old Esme.

He says, “They love it. Instead of being scared, they shout, ‘Go, shaky dad’ and sit on my lap.”

I just think this is great. I just love Michael J. Fox and it’s good to know that his children are being supportive and un-scared. I think it’s great.
