NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre opened up about his health this week, sharing a candid update on life since being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The former Green Bay Packers quarterback told TMZ that the condition has “progressed a little faster” than he initially expected. Favre first revealed his diagnosis in 2024 while testifying at a Capitol Hill hearing on welfare reform. While some symptoms have begun to surface, he said he has not yet experienced anything he considers alarming. Despite living with the disease for nearly three years, Favre made clear he has no intention of slowing down. “No way in hell am I giving up,” the 56-year-old said, noting that he biked more than 6,200 miles last year to stay active. Favre added that he has consulted with five medical specialists and is pursuing every available treatment. Doctors, he said, have reassured him that he is doing all the right things and offered cautious optimism that a cure could be five to 10 years away. Favre said he is “praying for a cure,” not just for himself, but for the millions of others living with Parkinson’s disease.
