Brett Favre Announces Parkinson’s Diagnosis During Congressional Hearing: ‘It’s Too Late for Me’
Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre announced that he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease while giving a testimony at a congressional hearing over tax money.
“Sadly, I also lost an investment in a company that I believed was developing a breakthrough concussion drug I thought would help others, and I’m sure you’ll understand why it’s too late for me because I’ve recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s,” he said during the appearance. He was also accused of allocating money to the now-defunct drug company Prevacus, in which he invested in, as well as being paid $1.1 million for public appearances he never made. “State agencies provided the funds to Nancy New’s charity, the Mississippi Community Education Center, which then gave the funds to the University, all with the full knowledge and approval of other State agencies, including the State-wide Institute for Higher Learning, the Governor’s office and the Attorney General’s office,” he said at the time.
