Muhammad Ali Case Study

One of the most unique things from Muhammad Ali's story comes from the position he had as a public figure with Parkinson's. Because he was a prominent figure in the world or sports and media in general, he was at an advantage to advocate for people with Parkinson's disease and raise money for research. Ali began the Muhammad Ali's Parkinson's Center which helps to fund research projects geared toward finding a cure. Ali was a major advocate for the disease and because of his personal ties to it, there have been major projects funded toward advancing research in this field.
