That being the case, I'm very proud to be able to say that my design was one of two chosen as the artwork for the Parkinson's Disease Foundation's t shirt for Parkinson's Awareness Month. Here's a link to the PDF press release (which also provides a link to buy one of the shirts):

I was amazed and so excited when I found out that my design had been chosen! It's wonderful to be given an opportunity to help with the fight against PD by doing something that I love to do. I feel that way about the Parkinson's Quilt project too. I really think that these little things , when added up together, do make a difference. Making a quilt square, designing a t shirt, telling a story, wearing a ribbon, telling others about Parkinson's and what it's like; all these things raise awareness, and awareness is vital.
In other news: My husband Bob and I are participating in our local Parkinson's Walk in May (it's a "little brother" of the NYC walk, and the proceeds from it go to the Parkinson's Unity Walk organization). Here's a link to the Unity Walk page:

Please consider joining the Walk or making a donation. Together, we can do this.

I like your t-shirt design very much. I came across your blog a few months ago. I also noticed you are on 23 & Me (your picture). I am just starting to communicate on forums there.
I appreciate what you write and your willingness to share.
Thank you.

Marian,
Congratulations on the T-shirt design! Looks great! I also noticed your blog is one of the top 49 listed on the National Parkinson's Foundation forums. You're making a difference.
Have a great walk!

Thanks so much! You are so kind to me; it keeps me motivated. I'm doing an interview for our local paper tomorrow and I'm terrified, so I really appreciate the encouragement!
Julie: do look me up on 23andMe. It's a fascinating site, and I'm glad to hear that more people are signing up. I really think it will help.
Bob: Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate it. I'll have to go to the National Parkinson's Foundation site and check it out. Take care, and keep Tuba-ing!
Hi Marian,
Sorry - I was thinking it was on the NPF site, but it was referenced in a forum on that site. The 49 Top Blogs on Parkinsons is at the following link. You're number 24!
