Welcome to this episode of the *Together for Sharon Podcast*, where we share inspiring stories and raise awareness about Parkinson's Disease!
This week, we are joined by Dr. George Ackerman, a passionate advocate for Parkinson's awareness and the son of the late Sharon Riff Ackerman.
George is not just a lawyer and educator; he is a loving son on a mission to keep his mother's memory alive while fighting for a cure.
His heartfelt memoir, "A Son’s Journey from Parkinson’s Disease Caregiver to Advocate," chronicles his journey as a caregiver and offers insights into the realities of living with Parkinson's.
In this episode, we'll dive into George's journey, discussing topics such as the importance of community support, legal considerations for caregivers, and the various initiatives he's championing to promote Parkinson's awareness. We’ll also touch on his memorable encounter with Michael J. Fox, which further ignited his passion for advocacy.
Tune in for this heartfelt conversation that combines personal stories with practical advice for those impacted by Parkinson's Disease.
