Manage episode 419148509 series 3264358
In this episode of Your History Your Story, we will be speaking with Parkinson’s disease advocate and author, Dr. George Ackerman.
George and his family started the website, TogetherforSharon to honor his mother’s memory and to share the message of Parkinson’s awareness and hope for a cure.
George’s mother Sharon passed away at age 69 on January 1, 2020 after bravely battling Parkinson’s for over fifteen years. For many of those years, George served as her caregiver.
Since his mother’s passing, George has dedicated himself to providing hope, resources and encouragement for people with Parkinson’s, their caregivers and families so they will know they are not alone in their struggles with this disease.
