This project to raise awareness re Parkinson's just launched on Kickstarter. I'm in as it hits close to home. The creators of the project Allan & Becky have a video on Kickstarter - check it out
"my name is allan, and I'm a commercial photographer. One of my best friends Becky has young onset parkinsons, and when she told me, I was both appalled and confused. I'd never heard of that before. Parkinson's is something to worry about when you're older, right? Wrong. Becky was diagnosed when she was 29. I was surprised at my own lack of awareness, and equally desperate to help. So together we came up with a campaign featuring a few fancy faces I'd already counted among my clients, and a travelling gallery show featuring the actual sufferers of this disease. Thusfar we have shot such luminaries as Terry Gilliam, Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman and Kevin Smith, with more to come. In fact, we ended up with so many wonderful celebs, I decided to restructure the show around suffer and support, the reality of Parkinson's alongside the hope we might soon find a cure. We are promoting autumn shows in Los Angeles, Edinburgh and Berlin, and we need your help to make them a reality. Take a look at our rewards, watch the video and if you feel moved, please consider backing our project!
thanks for listening and supporting our quest to illuminate parkinson's,
love allan and becky"
