Coming in 2026! Children’s book on our children’s journey with their Grandma Sharon’s battle with PD….

After my mother Sharon passed due to Parkinson’s Disease a piece of my heart was forever broken. As I began advocating for others battling her memory, I noticed several important topics I felt there was a lack of awareness for. I accomplished those and my final difficulty was and still is explaining what happened to my mother to our children. I embarked on this Children’s book from my daughter’s journey to help children cope and understand that it is okay to discuss feelings and loss as well as symptoms they saw in their grandmother but to also never forget the memories we shared together.

What an exciting discussion with Eli Pollard and the World Parkinson Congress about Arizona 2026, Advocacy, Parky and so much more!

THANK YOU and Congrats to Ray Dorsey, MD & Michael S. Okun, MD for their new book THE Parkinson’s PLAN. And their appearance on our show
