Dear Michael: A couple of years ago, Dupont Pharma had a fuscia (sp?) colored ribbon that was used as Parkinson's awareness, but I have not seen any in a very long time. Here at the National Parkinson Foundation, we do not have ribbons, but we do have a pin that is the "Fighting Flame" (see our web site, www.parkinson.org as it depicts the Fighting Flame). Good Luck!

We are wondering who is sponsoring. _______________ Yes, I've seen a silver "ribbon" folded in the same shape that other causes have: AIDS and so on. I looked in the NPFs quarterly report and did not find an ad, but I've seen them at the Parkinson's Institute in Sunnyvale. I would contact your nearest NPF "Center of Excellence", which are listed in their reports and on their web site: http://www.parkinson.org/ or call the NPF: 1-800-327-4545. Good Luck
