I recently reconnected with a friend in the vintage community, Bella of @thecitizenrosebud. She introduced me to Pat Erickson who founded Pinky’s Passion for a Parkinson’s Cure @pinkyspassionforfashion . Pat was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2001 and has been doing fundraisers for many years to raise money for a cure. Some of her fundraisers were fashion shows and over time a wonderful collection of vintage clothing grew. I was lucky enough to purchase a part of this collection, and can’t wait to offer these pieces to you! Proceeds from her events and the sale of her vintage collection were donated to the @michaeljfoxorg. I was excited to make a special tag for such a special collection. This lovely woman and her story hit particularly close to home because my dad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s about 4 years ago. He tries different medications and naturopathic remedies to ease the symptoms, because there is no cure. Hopefully, one day there will be, and Pinky’s Passion will help us get there. 💗
