New tulip design popping up throughout Parkinson's community |
|||
| Karen Painter's tulip pin made a surprise appearance at the 2008 Unity
Walk in New York City when Anne Udall wore it on her teeshirt. Anne is
the daughter of the late Arizona Congressman Morris K. Udall, who was
instrumental in the 1997 passage of legislation (the Morris K. Udall
Parkinson's Disease Research Act), which authorized up to $100 million
to support Parkinson's disease research. Individuals living with Parkinson's, their families, friends, and caregivers along with Parkinson's groups from Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Virginia, Washington state, Texas, Indiana, New Jersey, Indiana, Wisconsin and Arizona are using (or plan to use) Karen Painter's tulip design to promote Parkinson's awareness and the urgency for a cure. Many thanks to our partners and teammates in this effort. Who is using the PD Tulip and how! |

Linda Webb of Williams, Arizona, has dreams of a "Parkinson's Patchwork Project" that would have quilters create quilts to promote awareness of PD, and to raiser funds for research to find the CURE and provide treatment for those who would otherwise not afford it. |

Interest in this new PD Tulip design is spreading like wildfire at the grassroots level. Here are some ways it's being used to promote Parkinson's awareness. If you or your organization are using this tulip, please send us a photo and the details -- we'd love to showcase your efforts! |
