Coming January 2027… 🎬 Trailers Coming Soon…
A 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.
Proclamation from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Governor Ron DeSantis and his dedicated staff for their support and recognition in issuing a proclamation in memory of my mother, Sharon. This meaningful gesture not only honors her life and legacy but also helps bring much-needed attention to Parkinson’s disease.
By declaring April as Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month in Florida, you are helping to shine a light on the challenges faced by individuals and families affected by this condition. Increased awareness fosters understanding, encourages early diagnosis, and supports ongoing efforts toward research and improved care.

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.
