Postage stamp for Parkinson's disease

People like Michael J. Fox, Muhammad Ali, Billy Graham, and Janet Reno bring great awareness to the PD community. Think about the magnitude of awareness if we had a PD stamp designed through the U. S. Postal Service.

 Would you like to see a postage stamp about PD? We would!

On April 23, 2006, Claire Salamon applied to the Postal Service’s Citizen’s Stamp Advisory Committee for a series of 4 stamps about Incurable Diseases of the Central Nervous System and Spinal Cord Injuries. In her application, Claire suggested that the red tulip be used on the Parkinson's disease stamp, if it is approved. We plan to send this petition to the USPS – in support of Claire’s application – requesting that they use this red PD Tulip (designed by Karen Painter) on the Parkinson's disease stamp.

Over 1 million people in the U.S. have Parkinson's disease.
Every 9 minutes another person is diagnosed with PD (60,000 per year).
