Awareness Matters. Letting the Red Tulip lead the way.
When more people recognize the symbol – and the people behind it – we will gain more support for the cause to spread understanding and raise funds.
It’s awareness that can lead to:
Attracting the attention of government agencies—to increase funding for research and to stop the use of harmful chemicals, such as Paraquat
Attracting the attention of the public—to let them know that Parkinson’s is likely preventable and increase their donations toward research for prevention and cure
Educating the public and medical community—by distributing 10 Surprising Early Signs of Parkinson’s, which can lead to earlier diagnosis
A better understanding that Parkinson’s is not an “old person’s” disease. An increasing number are being hit with it a young age—Davis Phinney (Olympic cyclist)—age 40; Brian Grant (NBA player)—age 36; Michael J. Fox (actor)—age 29
LET'S GO RED TULIP!
