I want to sincerely thank the World Parkinson Congress and each and every one of you for your time, support, and compassion since I lost my best friend and mother, Sharon, to Parkinson’s disease.
I am deeply honored to share that my book, A Son’s Journey: From Parkinson’s Disease Caregiver to Advocate, has been selected to be included at WPC 2026 in Arizona.
I will also be participating in a panel session at the WPC 2026 Book Nook, where my books will be featured.
This recognition brought tears to my eyes—not only for me, but for my entire family and the community I now proudly call family. It is an honor I accept with a level of gratitude that words cannot fully express.
Moments like this remind me that no one is ever forgotten, even after losing their battle. My mother’s memory will continue to live on through all of us.
Thank you, truly. I will not rest until you can. While I still grieve many days, it is this incredible community that gives me the strength to keep fighting—so that no one ever feels alone in this journey.
Sharon’s son, George

A Son’s Journey from Parkinson’s Disease Caregiver to Advocate. This book is, first, a memoir of and praise for my mother, Sharon, who was my best friend through both our lives and explores her journey with PD. The book is a heartfelt recollection of the beginnings of her Parkinson’s disease symptoms and my caregiving to support through her battle with PD.
However, I also want to reach those who are not aware of Parkinson’s throughout the world. Until we ensure that others outside the local or regional Parkinson’s community are made aware, a cure will be further from our grasp. Others, too, may find the book helpful, especially for those suffering from associated diseases.
