]]> <![CDATA[Parkinson's does not discriminate.]]> Sun, 16 Nov 2008 07:34:55 GMT Ryan Reynolds recently completed the run of a lifetime for Parkinson’s Disease. The 31-year old Vancouver actor completed the New York Marathon on Sunday, November 2nd, in a time of three hours and fifty minutes to raise funds and awareness for Parkinson’s Disease. Reynolds dedicated his run to his father Jim, who has been living with Parkinson’s for the past 15 years of his life. To prepare for the grueling 26.2 mile (42.16 kilometer) run, Ryan would get up to train at 4:30am. It was all worth it, as Ryan raised over $108,000 for the Michael J. Fox Foundation in the process.
