A wave of concern and compassion is spreading online tonight as fans everywhere pause to send prayers and positive thoughts to Michael J. Fox.

For decades, Michael J. Fox has meant more than movies or television. He’s been a symbol of resilience, humor in the face of hardship, and quiet strength when life doesn’t play fair.
