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.
