The Mark White Show

On this Make A Difference Minute, I have Jon Marsh, retired U.S. Army Warrant Officer and author of Communicating Without the Chaos.

In a powerful and simple reminder, Jon shares one step anyone can take when life feels overwhelming, stop, breathe, and ground yourself in the truth that you are here, you are alive, and you are real.

When everything feels out of control, sometimes the first step forward is taking a moment to regain control of what is yours.

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.

On this Make a Difference Minute, Dr. George T. Grossberg shares an important perspective on Alzheimer’s disease that many families don’t expect. While memory loss is often the most recognized symptom, behavioral changes like anxiety, irritability, paranoia, and even hallucinations can be just as common and often more challenging.

These symptoms, known as Alzheimer’s-related psychosis, can deeply impact both the individual and their caregivers. Dr. Grossberg explains what these behaviors look like, why they happen, and why awareness is so important for families navigating this journey.

Her son, Miller, was diagnosed with B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia on June 14, 2025, just before his second birthday.
