Episode Synopsis

Send us a textThis week's episode is with Dr. George Ackerman, an attorney and Parkinson's Disease advocate. After being the primary caregiver for his mother, Sharon, who sadly passed away from Parkinson's, Dr. Ackerman strives to help other families experiencing similar struggles. In this episode, Dr. Ackerman starts by sharing heartfelt stories about his mother and the dreadful toll Parkinson's took on her independence and well-being. He later shares the struggles he faced as his mother's primary caregiver and the hardships he and his family experienced, knowing there was no cure for Parkinson's. This leads into our discussion about his inspiration to create Together For Sharon, his website with his mother's story, Parkinson's legislation, and interviews with families and Parkinson's organizations from all over the world. Dr. Ackerman continues to advocate until there is a cure for this terrible disease. Make sure to subscribe to the Neurological Disorder Podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcasts! Follow me on Instagram- @neurologicaldisorderpodcast Email me at- [email protected] Email Dr. Ackerman at- [email protected] Dr. Ackerman mentioned:https://www.togetherforsharon.com/https://www.michaeljfox.org/
