A Valentine’s Day Tribute to Rayilyn Lee Brown

Shown above with her faithful sidekick Spike, Ray is a familiar presence to members of the Parkinsns listserve. With her research partner Diane Wyshak, Ray keeps the list informed of developments affecting the Parkinson’s community. Ray is a director of the Arizona Chapter of the National Parkinson Foundation. She is a fierce advocate for all kinds of stem cell research.

Ray’s kindness and encouragement help get us through; her candor makes us think; her sense of humor makes us laugh; her sense of outrage gives us energy; and her tireless advocacy gives us hope. Thanks, Ray.
