Michael J. Fox is helping his pet cause and satisfying his sweet tooth.
The beloved Back To The Future star was surrounded by sugary treats on Friday as he unveiled his very own signature cupcake in honour of Parkinson's Awareness Month.
Michael, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991, teamed up with Magnolia Bakery through his Michael J Fox Foundation to create the ultimate 'MJFF cupcake.'

Bakery in New York on Friday in honour of Parkinson's Awareness Month
It
really is a marvel available in both chocolate and vanilla cake, and
frosted with white vanilla buttercream, orange sprinkles and a white chocolate disc with the MJFF logo on it.
Michael looked like he was going to eat a cupcake right there as he posed with one in his hand and beside a tiered dessert display too.
During April, the sweet shop will donate $1.75 from each MJFF cupcake it sells towards finding a cure for Parkinson's disease, according to the foundation's website.
