Write With Parkinsons
One of the earliest signs of Parkinson’s Disease is that your handwriting changes. To spread awareness of this, and to generate donations to find a cure, I decided to create a typeface made from the handwriting from a real person living with the disease, my very own mother.
The font could be purchased at writewithparkinsons.com. All sales were donated to the Michael J. Fox Foundation to help us get one step closer to finding a cure.
