Dr. George Ackerman (Sharon’s son) is from Brooklyn, N.Y. Now residing in Florida, he works in the fields of law, police, and education. George lost his mother, Sharon Riff Ackerman on 1/1/2020 due to Parkinson’s Disease.

George wanted to honor his mother and continue to help in the Parkinson’s awareness cause and did not know how to bring change. We started TogetherForSharon® as a family for the purpose of keeping my mother, Sharon Riff Ackerman’s, memory alive and to share the message of Parkinson’s Awareness and hope for a cure.

Today https://www.togetherforsharon.com/ reaches thousands of individuals across the country for PD Awareness. George currently interviews individuals throughout the Parkinson’s community including various foundations, caregivers, and Parkinson’s warriors to help share their stories and causes.

Thank you for listening. Loss/death affects us all. As the saying goes, "death is a part of life". It doesn't make it any easier, however, to grieve.
However, you are the sum of your parts; your emotions and your experience do not define who you are. How you push through shows your character and strength.
It takes a village-- so, come join our community and find others who are living on the other side of grief (and not with grief).
If you or someone you know needs support, please don't hesitate to reach out.
