Welcome to the Tendrils of Grief podcast! Today, we have the honor of speaking with Dr. George Ackerman, a dedicated advocate for Parkinson's awareness. Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, and now residing in Florida, George's professional journey spans law, police work, and education. His commitment to Parkinson's advocacy began after the loss of his beloved mother, Sharon Riff Ackerman, on January 1, 2020, due to Parkinson's Disease.
To honor his mother and further the cause of Parkinson's awareness, George founded TogetherForSharon®, a family initiative dedicated to keeping Sharon's memory alive and spreading awareness and hope for a cure. The initiative's website, TogetherForSharon.com, now reaches thousands of individuals nationwide, promoting crucial messages about Parkinson's Disease.
George also conducts interviews with individuals across the Parkinson's community, including various foundations, caregivers, and Parkinson's warriors, to share their inspiring stories and causes. Join us as George discusses his journey, the meaningful work of TogetherForSharon®, and his mission to transform grief into purpose and make a positive impact in the Parkinson's community.
Tune in for an insightful and moving conversation about finding strength in loss and driving change through advocacy.
