Sharon’s Story: Parkinson’s, Advocacy & Family. Official Trailer 1 https://youtu.be/uUjuBK5ugGA

Coming January 2027A powerful new documentary honoring the life and legacy of Sharon and raising awareness for Parkinson’s disease.

This inspiring film follows Sharon’s courageous journey with Parkinson’s disease and the profound impact it had on her family. It also tells the story of Sharon’s son, George, and his transformation from devoted caregiver to passionate advocate, dedicating his life to raising awareness, supporting families, and fighting for a future free from Parkinson’s disease.

Through personal experiences, advocacy efforts, and a message of hope, this documentary highlights the strength of caregivers, the resilience of those living with Parkinson’s, and the importance of coming together in the pursuit of a cure.

Parkie In The Wild

A huge thank you to Parkie In The Wild! Our favorite show uses the power of puppets to bring Parkinson’s awareness to life in a way that reaches the whole family. What makes it even more incredible is that it’s truly one of a kind — the only show in the world dedicated to tackling Parkinson’s through this unique approach for all ages. Simply inspiring!

Coalition of Visionary Resources (COVR)

I am deeply honored and grateful to the Coalition of Visionary Resources (COVR) for recognizing A Son’s Journey with the Bronze Visionary Award Medal. https://togetherforsharon.com/my-book-a-sons-journey/

This award means so much because A Son’s Journey was written in loving memory of my mother, Sharon, whose courageous battle with Parkinson’s disease continues to inspire my advocacy through TogetherForSharon®. I share this recognition with everyone who has supported this journey and believes in raising awareness, offering hope, and working toward a future without Parkinson’s disease.

Thank you to the Coalition of Visionary Resources for this incredible honor and for recognizing the power of stories that inspire healing, compassion, and positive change. I am truly humbled and grateful.

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

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: New Children’s Book Offers Hope, Understanding, and Love for Families Living with Parkinson’s Disease

https://togetherforsharon.com/i-love-you-grandma-sharon-brooke-and-grandmas-days-with-parkinsons/

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.
