George and Dina kick off Season 8 of the DishWithDina podcast and dish about Parkinson's Disease awareness, the caregiver's role, and hope for a cure.
Dr. George Ackerman (Sharon’s son) is from Brooklyn, N.Y. and now resides in Florida where he works in the fields of law, police, and education.
George lost his mother, Sharon Riff Ackerman on January 1, 2020 to Parkinson’s Disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that currently cannot be cured. He has spent the past years honoring his mother by starting TogetherForSharon® to raise awareness about Parkinson’s disease and advocate for change.
Today, https://www.togetherforsharon.com/ reaches thousands of individuals across the country and George interviews individuals throughout the Parkinson’s community—including various foundations, caregivers, and Parkinson’s warriors—to help share their stories and causes.
