About this listen
In our latest installment of POP Profiles, Power Over Parkinson’s President, Margaret Preston, sat down with Dr. George Ackerman, founder of Together for Sharon, a grassroots Parkinson’s awareness initiative dedicated to honoring his late mother, Sharon Riff Ackerman. The conversation explored Dr. Ackerman’s deeply personal journey—from his mother’s Parkinson’s diagnosis to his mission to educate, connect, and empower families affected by the disease. He shared insights into how Together for Sharon uses storytelling and community outreach to amplify voices within the Parkinson’s community, while also advocating for greater research support and public understanding of the disease. Throughout the interview, themes of hope, advocacy, and connection emerged. Dr. Ackerman emphasized the importance of uniting organizations like Power Over Parkinson’s and Together for Sharon to strengthen awareness efforts and improve the lives of those living with Parkinson’s.
This inspiring conversation serves as a reminder that through shared stories and collaboration, we can continue to build a stronger, more supportive Parkinson’s community.
