Montegrappa | Team Fox Collection
.
Tulip for Team Fox - Solidarity Edition For Parkinsons Research Around the world, an estimated six million people live with the effects of Parkinsons disease, a degenerative neurological disorder with no known cure. Now Montegrappa is joining the effort to end Parkinsons disease by partnering with the Michael J. Fox Foundation, whom Bloomberg recently labelled *the fulcrum on which Parkinsons research pivots.* The sculpted pocket clip of the Tulip for Team Fox is inspired by the global symbol of Parkinsons disease awareness and designed by Australian fine artist, Timothy John, who was himself diagnosed with the condition in 2017. John felt that a prestige pen could provide a poignant, lasting way to draw attention to Parkinsons, while also raising funds for the cause. The red tulip was formally adopted as the global symbol of Parkinsons consciousness in 2005. Few figures have worked harder to highlight Parkinsons disease than Michael J. Fox. Since revealing his own diagnosis in 1998, the foundation he founded has raised more than $800 million for Parkinsons research. A portion of proceeds from all purchases benefit The Michael J. Fox Foundation*s efforts to foster cooperation in the scientific community and accelerate a cure for Parkinsons disease. The collection*s duotone coloring and a distinctive profile offer an innovative way for pen owners and gift seekers to show empathy for Parkinsons patients and contribute to the search for a cure. The Michael J. Fox Foundation*s signature orange livery provides the color reference for the pen*s barrel, section and a Montegrappa insignia set into a cap of tulip red. The fountain pen is available with a stainless-steel nib available in EF, F, M, B and Stub widths. Cartridge/converter fill with the converter included.
