Send us some LOVE!

Caring for a loved one with Parkinson's disease can be a life-altering voyage that many of us will never fully understand—unless we've walked that path ourselves. Dr. George Ackerman joins us to share the deeply personal narrative of his mother, Sharon's, battle with this incapacitating illness, and how it thrust upon him the mantle of caregiver. Dr. Ackerman gives voice to the often-unsung heroes tending to the needs of those with Parkinson's and how these experiences fuel his fight for change and support through initiatives like the National Plan to End Parkinson's Disease bill. Dr. Ackerman’s journey reveals the broader narrative: that our shared struggles can create unexpected pathways to advocacy and support for others.
