Tracy Pollan says she and Michael J. Fox try to take life as it comes.
She shared that approach while attending the Michael J. Fox Foundation’s annual fundraising gala in New York City on Saturday, November 14, where she supported her husband of 38 years.
“I think you just have to do it day by day,” Pollan told People. “You have to look at what’s in front of you…and you have to stay in the moment—and if the moment is okay, that’s where you are.”
The couple also finds happiness in an everyday ritual: sharing meals. “I mean, it’s funny because we have very different tastes in books and very different tastes in what we watch, but we both always love a great meal,” Pollan said, “so I’m gonna say our meals together make us happy.”
Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1991 and founded the Michael J. Fox Foundation in 2000. Their daughters Esmé, Aquinnah, and Schuyler joined the couple at Saturday’s event, which was held at the Waldorf Astoria. The gala marked its 26th year supporting Parkinson’s research.
Pollan said the night was a chance to celebrate the people behind the foundation’s work. “It’s all about the amazing work that the foundation has done. It celebrates everybody who’s worked with us for 20-plus years,” she said. She also pointed to the progress made possible by research funding: “We really are seeing so much progress.”
She also spoke about the demands of supporting a spouse through a serious illness. “So many people have reached out to me, and in turn, I have reached out to them, because I have seen how hard it is, how really emotionally hard it is, physically hard to go through each day,” she told People. Pollan said her routine includes checking in on Fox’s meals, exercise, medication, and doctor appointments, alongside family life and her part-time teaching work.
The evening featured music from John Mayer and Brad Paisley, comedy from Josh Johnson and Tom Papa, and host Denis Leary.
