Make A Difference Minute: Parkinson's Disease Doesn't Discriminate
from The Mark White Show · host Mark White
On this Make A Difference Minute, I’m joined by Dr. George Ackerman, founder of Together for Sharon, a movement created in memory of his mother, Sharon, who lost her battle with Parkinson’s disease. One of the biggest misconceptions about Parkinson’s is that it only affects the elderly. The reality is, it doesn’t discriminate. People are being diagnosed younger than ever, even in their 20s. George shares what families face that often goes unseen, and why awareness matters now more than ever. From personal loss to a global mission, his message is clear. The more we come together, the closer we get to stopping this disease. This MADM is brought to you by CoraNation Tailoring & Alterations, proudly supporting stories and the people who make our communities strong. Real stories. Real people. Real impact. News That Unites!™️
