I thought Lavender had been used but that the deep purple was still available. We used it for our Teen - pep program here, (Northern Virginia) to try and make teenagers aware of PD - and they started a teen group using the slogan Purple for Parkinsons. It had a nice ring to it. I think you may have got your purple ribbon from me at the PAN Forum. Sorry. Didn't mean to step on anybody's toes. Ignorance may be bliss, but it doesn't excuse anything.
