Voices of Resilience: Conversations with Parkinson’s Disease Warriors, Caretakers and Advocates, Book 1. https://www.togetherforsharon.com/my-book-voices-of-resilience/
This book of interviews aims to raise awareness and hope for a cure for Parkinson’s Disease. I contacted individuals worldwide to obtain the interviews because PD does not discriminate and affects individuals, families, and communities worldwide. I believe we must be family in this fight for a cure. When I learned that approximately 1 million individuals are diagnosed in the United States and over 10 million worldwide, I felt that many other journeys needed to be shared. So many inspired me to keep advocating for a cure!
Endorsement:
Within a day of my diagnosis of Young Onset Parkinson’s, I started to trawl social media to see what I could learn. It didn’t take long for me to come across George. He is a 24/7 advocate and one of a kind. He is not only a relentless advocate for a cure but also one of the most encouraging and kindest people I know. This passion is combined with his sharp mind and focus on these remarkable interviews. They are unique, just like George!
