    Favre went onto Twitter on Tuesday to talk about his most recent life-changing news. This came as a surprise to a lot of people with the news. Favre added on Twitter:

    “First, I want to thank God for all He has done in my life. Next, thanks to Congress for giving me the platform to discuss a much needed TANF reform. As you know, I was recently diagnosed w/ Parkinson’s which has been an ordeal. My wife, family, and friends have been supportive and I want to thank them for being there for me. To my fans and those wishing well — thank you all for the love.🙏“

    Favre truly means this message because dealing with Parkinson’s is not easy. Some fans believe that playing football and taking too many hits to the head caused it.
