My yellow seagull symbolizes the freedom that eludes people with Parkinson's disease. There is an adjustable nut on the back of the yellow bird that allows for dependable and graceful movement. The color yellow symbolizes hope, courage and perseverance, all of which have been critical for me in recognizing and embracing the continuing and exciting possibilities for the creation of art in my life.
I am the orange gull-different from the others, but still standing.
There is something I can do.
...Eduard Alden (Mike) Mikkelsen, August 23, 2005 -more-
There is something that you can do, too.
More than 1.5 million people are afflicted with Parkinson's Disease in the United States alone. Over 6 million people around the globe struggle with its
debilitating symptoms. And, its victims aren't just the elderly. Countless children and young adults are diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease every day.
Funds are desperately needed for continued research and support. That's why Mike and his wife, Anne, have dedicated themselves to raising money for the cause.
Mike and Anne are long-time donors to the Northwest Parkinson's Foundation, which strives to improve quality of care for the Parkinson's patient through awareness, education, care and advocacy. In 2006, they also also joined forces with The Michael J. Fox Foundation, which is focused on finding and funding a cure for Parkinson's.
To learn more about our truly one-of-a-kind garden sculptures, click here. To buy a single bird or a whole flock, click here. If you don't have a garden or yard to display our full-size birds, mini versions are now available. Because of the lower cost of raw materials, we're now able to offer the birds for substantially less than before. Half of the proceeds from every bird will go to the foundation of your choice.
