Call me cynical, but a Hall of Famer drops a Parkinson’s diagnosis and the only symptom is a stiff hand? Convenient. Where’s the timeline, the doctor’s confirmation, anything beyond a feel-good statement about helping others? If this is meant to move a public, give us specifics. Otherwise it’s just a press release asking for trust it hasn’t earned.
