The wristband selfie

Help us keep my mother’s memory alive forever through advocacy and hope for a cure. There are many families who struggle and fight against this disease and your support to the organizations below will help awareness and hope for a cure!

With wrist bands having been sent already the outpouring of support has been greater than we could have imagined, and we are very grateful for it! Below you will see some of the beautiful selfies of individuals from around the world posting wearing their “TogetherForSharon®” wristband in support of our cause. Many have been so creative taking selfies and pictures of themselves wearing their “TogetherForSharon®” wristbands at sporting events, beaches, boating, monuments, workplaces and locations around the world!
