Honorees represent this spirit and the “Move to Live, Live to Move” philosophy of the Sunflower Revolution. They are community leaders in the generation of awareness, support groups and fundraising for Parkinson’s disease well-being and research. They help achieve incremental victories for the Parkinson’s community every day.
