My yellow seagull symbolizes the freedom that eludes people with Parkinson's disease. There is an adjustable nut on the back of the yellow bird that allows for dependable and graceful movement. The color yellow symbolizes hope, courage and perseverance, all of which have been critical for me in recognizing and embracing the continuing and exciting possibilities for the creation of art in my life.
I am the orange gull-different from the others, but still standing.
There is something I can do.

There is something that you can do, too.
More than 1.5 million people are afflicted with Parkinson's Disease in the United States alone. Over 6 million people around the globe struggle with its
debilitating symptoms. And, its victims aren't just the elderly. Countless children and young adults are diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease every day.
Long-time donors to the Northwest Parkinson's Foundation, which strives to improve the quality of life for those with the disease, Mike and Anne have also recently joined forces with The Michael J. Fox Foundation.
As a premium for your tax-deductible donation, we are offering one orange or yellow bird for every $100.00 pledge or twelve... an entire flock of birds... for every $1000.00 pledge made to either the Northwest Parkinson's Foundation or The Michael J. Fox Foundation. This offer will continue until December 31, 2007, or while supplies last.
Thank you for your support. Together, we can make a difference.
