On World Parkinson's Day, join us for a poignant and inspiring conversation with Dr. George Ackerman, a passionate advocate for Parkinson's disease and dementia awareness. Driven by the memory of his mother, Sharon, who bravely battled the disease, Dr. Ackerman has dedicated his life to raising awareness, furthering research, and offering hope to millions impacted by Parkinson's.
Hear Dr. Ackerman share his mother's journey with Parkinson's, the profound impact she had on his life, and his work, including his organisation, "Together for Sharon," and how it's making a difference in the lives of patients and their families.
This is more than just a talk show; it's a platform for inspiration, action, and hope.
