Together For Sharon - A Parkinson’s Legacy Project Spreading Awareness

Lori La Bey talks with Dr. George Ackerman who is from Brooklyn, N.Y. and now resides in Florida. He works in the fields of law, police, and education. George lost his mother, Sharon Riff Ackerman on 1/1/2020 due to Parkinson’s Disease.

George wanted to honor his mother and continue to help in the Parkinson’s awareness cause but did not know how to bring change. With his family, they started TogetherForSharon® as a family, to keep his mother’s memory alive and to share the message of Parkinson’s Awareness and hope for a cure.

Today https://www.togetherforsharon.com/ reaches thousands of individuals across the country for Parkinson’s Disease Awareness. George currently interviews individuals throughout the Parkinson’s community including various foundations, caregivers, and Parkinson’s warriors to help share their stories and causes.
