APRIL IS PARKINSON'S DISEASE AWARENESS MONTH
The red tulip is more than just a flower—it’s a powerful symbol of strength, resilience, and hope for the millions of people affected by Parkinson’s disease. Introduced in 1980 by a Dutch horticulturist with Parkinson’s, the "Dr. James Parkinson" tulip now represents global awareness, advocacy and the ongoing pursuit of a cure. Join us in spreading awareness, supporting those living with Parkinson’s, and championing the importance of movement, research, and community. Together, we can make a difference! |
