🌷 HAPPY LABOR DAY! 🇺🇸

We’re not supposed to work today… right? 😄

But there’s one thing worth working on every day:

OURSELVES. ❤️

Maybe your Labor of Love is gardening. Exercise. Grandparenting. Art. Running. Boxing. Reading. Cooking. Volunteering. Or simply making time for the people you love.

Whatever fills your heart, keeps you moving, or gives you purpose — keep doing it.

🌷 Now we want to hear from YOU:

What is YOUR Labor of Love?

Tell us in the comments — and pictures are encouraged! ❤️

Red Tulip for Parkinson's Awareness Labor of Love is THIS COMMUNITY!!

Keep moving. Keep loving. Keep blooming.

🌷 Together We Bloom.

🌷 RED TULIP SUNDAY: CLOSE THE DAY. 🌷

Replaying a bad day doesn’t fix it. Closing it does.

We all replay things.

Something we said.
Something we wish we’d done differently.
A hard moment. A bad day.

Reflection can teach us something. But eventually, we have to let the day end.

Tonight, try this:

What happened?
What did I learn?
What can I let go?

Then tell yourself:

I did what I could.
I learned from it.
It’s done.

Tomorrow deserves a version of you that isn’t still fighting yesterday.

🌷 Learn from it. Close the book. Start again.

Together We Bloom.

🌷 THOSE WHO TRAIN TOGETHER, STAY TOGETHER! 🥊❤️

Check out the founders of Red Tulip for Parkinson's Awareness, Larry & Anita Dust, putting in the work together at Rock Steady Boxing International HQ!

Parkinson’s may have made this fight personal — but they’re fighting it TOGETHER.

Moving. Sweating. Laughing. Supporting each other. And proving that sometimes the best workout partner is also your life partner. ❤️

🥊 Keep moving. Keep fighting. Keep showing up for each other.

🌷 Together We Bloom.

🌷 LOOK WHAT WE SPOTTED AT CVS! 🌷

Red Tulip Founder, Anita Dust’s nephew noticed something pretty special on the window at his local CVS…

A Red Tulip for Parkinson’s Awareness decal! 🌷

We’re not even sure how it got there — and that makes us love it even more.

Because this is how awareness spreads. One window. One sticker. One conversation at a time. 🌷

To whoever put that Red Tulip there: THANK YOU. And thank you, CVS, for giving the Parkinson’s community a little more visibility.

You never know who will walk or drive by that window, recognize that symbol, and feel a little less alone.

Sometimes, just a sticker can make someone’s day. 🌷

Together We Bloom.

🌷 PARKINSON’S MADE IT PERSONAL. MOVEMENT MADE IT POWERFUL.

Red Tulip Founder, Anita Dust, speaks with her Key Benefit Administrators team about her own Parkinson’s journey — and one of the most important lessons she has learned:

KEEP MOVING.

Exercise isn’t just about staying fit when you’re living with Parkinson’s. It can help support mobility, balance, strength and overall quality of life.

Anita isn’t just talking about Parkinson’s awareness.

She’s living it. She’s fighting back. And she’s using her voice to help others do the same.

🌷 Move today. Move tomorrow. Just keep moving.

Together, we advocate.
Together, we amplify voices.
Together, we bloom. 🌷

🌷 HISTORY IS BEING MADE IN KENTUCKY! 🌷

Red Tulip for Parkinson's Awareness has been exploring the idea of an Indiana Parkinson’s Awareness license plate — only to discover that our friends at the National Parkinson’s Institute were already ahead of the game!

Kentucky is set to become the FIRST state in the nation with a Parkinson’s Awareness specialty license plate featuring the Red Tulip 🌷

This is bigger than a license plate.

Every Red Tulip 🌷 traveling down the road becomes a moving symbol of awareness — sparking conversations, creating visibility, and helping unite the Parkinson’s community.

🌷 Kentucky is first. Now let’s make it 50.

Imagine Red Tulip plates on roads across America, all carrying one unmistakable message:

We see you. We support you. We will keep fighting for you.

Congratulations to our friends at the National Parkinson’s Institute for setting the stage and turning an idea into action.

One state. One symbol. One movement.

Thank you Eric and Erika for making this happen!

HISTORY IS BEING MADE IN KENTUCKY!

We are incredibly proud to announce that Kentucky will become the FIRST state in the nation to offer a Parkinson’s Awareness specialty license plate!

The National Parkinsons Institute's Red Tulip for Parkinson’s Awareness license plate could be available to Kentuckians as early as September 11th!

This is more than a license plate — it’s a major step toward making the Red Tulip a nationally recognized symbol for Parkinson’s awareness, just as the pink ribbon is recognized for breast cancer.

And it all starts right here in Kentucky. 🌷

Soon, every Red Tulip plate on the road will help raise awareness, spark conversations, and give the Parkinson’s community greater visibility.

🇺🇸 First in the nation.🌷 Right here in Kentucky. And only the beginning.

🌷 HEROES IN BLOOM 🌷 EP. 6 "When Life Gets You Down?"

Two journeys. Two battles. Two incredible stories of courage and recovery.

Today, Red Tulip for Parkinson's Awareness honors Mike Lanzalotti, a person living with Parkinson’s, and Coach Freddy Silva, as they open up about their unique journeys through the world of Parkinson’s — and the deeply personal road of addiction and recovery.

It takes courage to fight your own battles.

It takes even more courage to talk about them so others know they’re not alone.

Mike & Freddy, thank you for your honesty, your vulnerability, and your willingness to share the difficult parts of your stories. By opening up about Parkinson’s, addiction and recovery, you are helping others feel seen, understood and hopeful.

Your strength, compassion and commitment to helping others are what being a Red Tulip Hero is all about. 🌷

Together, we advocate.
Together, we amplify voices.
Together, we bloom.

🌷 A Daughter wanting to do something meaningful for her Mother 🌷

Wendy Chase, co-founder of Chasing a Cure Parkinson's Foundation, shares how a promise to her mother, Sue, became a mission to raise money for Parkinson’s research. Chasing a Cure was founded in 2018 and continues raising funds through Team Fox for The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research

And look what that promise became. 🌷

This summer, their 3rd Annual "Concert for a Cure" raised an incredible $105,000 for Parkinson’s research through The Michael J. Fox Foundation.

One daughter. One mom. One promise. $105,000.

That’s how change begins.
That’s how communities come together.

🌷 THIS is how a movement happens.

Red Tulip for Parkinson's Awareness was very honored to be a part of this beautiful event 🌷



Together, we advocate.
Together, we amplify voices.
Together, we bloom. 🌷
