Description

Sharon Riff Ackerman passed away 1/1/2020 from Parkinson's Disease and her son, George, has been on a mission ever since to honor his mother through the movement his family created, Together For Sharon.

Their mission is to raise awareness of Parkinson's Disease in hopes of a cure. George is making headway by connecting with caregivers, organizations, and Government officials to elevate the urgency, to spare other families from losing a loved one to PD.

In this episode, he shares some of the blessings and challenges his family faced as they cared for his mom.

The website, https://www.togetherforsharon.com/, features many resources for families, partnerships, interviews, and ways to share your own story and support this important mission.
