Boca Raton Magazine
For years, our family felt unheard and alone. We simply wanted my mother’s journey with Parkinson’s disease to be remembered and to remind every family who has lost a loved one that their story still matters.
Today, because of incredible organizations, advocates, and our community, our voices are finally being heard. Thank you, Boca Raton Magazine, for helping shine a light on Parkinson’s awareness.
The true hero has always been my mother. Her legacy fuels our mission to ensure that no one facing Parkinson’s—or caring for someone who is—ever feels alone.
To every person and family living with Parkinson’s: We see you. We stand with you. We will never stop fighting for you. You are never alone.
International Impact Book Awards
We are deeply honored and grateful to the International Impact Book Awards (IIBA) for recognizing our Children’s Book: I LOVE YOU, GRANDMA SHARON! with the Impact Award.
This book was written in loving memory of my mother, Sharon, and for every family whose lives have been touched by Parkinson’s disease. Specifically, from a Child’s point of view. Our hope has always been to inspire love, compassion, understanding, and meaningful conversations across generations while honoring the incredible strength of caregivers and those living with Parkinson’s.
Thank you to the International Impact Book Awards for this incredible recognition. This award belongs not only to me, but to the entire Parkinson’s community, whose courage and resilience continue to inspire me every day.
Together, we will continue raising awareness, sharing hope, and working toward a future without Parkinson’s disease.

Parkinson’s Journal — Sharon’s Story Will Never Be Forgotten
A heartfelt thank you to Parkinson’s Journal for featuring our journey in George Ackerman: No One Should Face Parkinson’s Alone. For me, this is about so much more than an article. It is another opportunity to ensure that my mother, Sharon, is never forgotten simply because she lost her battle with Parkinson’s disease. Her battle may have ended, but her story did not.

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
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.
