Parkinson’s Champions – 2026 Miami Marathon Weekend

I participated in #Run4PD

The Parkinson’s Foundation makes life better for people living with Parkinson’s disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure. Studies show that 2.5 hours of weekly exercise along with medication, can significantly improve quality of life for people living with Parkinson’s. We run and will continue to run for people with Parkinson’s because this disease not a sprint, it’s a marathon. Every dollar counts, thank you for your support!

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.

Exciting news — we’re heading back to the Capital! With the Michael J. Fox Foundation
First, I want to thank the Michael J. Fox Foundation once again. Next, I want to thank my wife, Grether, who will be joining me this time.

Each day and every moment, everyone I meet and everyone who likes, shares, or comments helps me ensure that my mother, Sharon, will never be forgotten.

A birthday message in memory of my mother from her favorite musical artist & saxophonist Kenny G.

One thing that has always positively impacted our lives is music. My mother and I shared a passion for music. She played piano and I played guitar our whole lives. As a child I lived in New York and remember heading to Broadway to see musicals and throughout life, mom always had Kenny G playing a saxophone while enjoying every song he created. I remember her going to see Kenny G several times, so I thought what I could do to surprise mom if she was still with us…. What would she have loved and been surprised by? Hmm… yes, a message from her favorite musician Kenny G that got my family though happy and tough times……… sending love on your birthday in heaven. We miss and love you! Please enjoy.
