Venue: Toronto Argonaut’s game
Information: On Sunday October 20th 2002 at the Toronto Argonauts game, legends of the sports and entertainment world paid tribute to Muhammad Ali for his contributions to humanity. Proceeds from The Muhammad Ali- In Person for the Greatest Good event will directly benefit Parkinson Society Canada and Parkinson’s research at the University of Toronto.
Tom was inspired to write “Just Like Ali” after witnessing both his father and Muhammad Ali’s struggles with Parkinson’s disease. Tom says, “My father and Ali are two of my only real heroes. Believe me, it can be sad to witness your heroes suffer; but the way in which they attempt to champion over this, their most difficult struggle, only adds to their heroism.”
