Ep. 83: Parkinson’s Disease advocacy - how George's Mom, Sharon, inspired his mission to find a cure

In ep. 83, I talk with George Ackerman about Parkinson’s Disease advocacy, the loss of his mother Sharon, and the deeply personal mission that inspired his work through TogetherForSharon.George shares how caring for his mom changed his life, how her journey with Parkinson’s shaped his perspective, and why he continues to raise awareness so no one feels alone in the fight.We also discuss the creation of Together for Sharon, a family-led mission built in memory of Sharon Riff Ackerman to share Parkinson’s awareness, resources, and hope for a cure.George opens up about caregiving, grief, advocacy, and the books he has written to help others better understand the realities of Parkinson’s Disease and the people it affects.This conversation is a reminder that storytelling can create connection, build awareness, and help move us closer to a cure.Books - TogetherForSharon Subscribe to TogetherforSharon on YouTubeFollow TogetherForSharon on InstagramLike TogetherforSharon on FacebookThis episode of Adventures in Adversity is sponsored by DIVINI, a honey-based sparkling kombucha tea.* Visit LiveDivini and use discount code Breanne10 at checkout for a discount!## Adventures in Adversity on Instagram & Facebook
