You are not alone!

In an inspiring conversation with George Ackerman, we explored his journey of resilience and his passion for creating more awareness for Parkinson’s. George shares his personal experiences that led him to become an author and to want to create more awareness. He talks about his books, interviews and his future plans.

George is keen to raise awareness and begins to talk about his great personal loss: his mother’s battle with Parkinson’s disease. Her passing was a turning point in his life and sparked a mission to raise awareness and connect with others facing similar challenges.

What do readers take away from your book that gives them more positivity?

"The most important message is that no one is ever truly alone. As a caregiver, I felt isolated, and my mother felt alone in her battle with Parkinson's. But as you read this book, you will discover that there are countless others advocates, people living with this disease, and great organizations working tirelessly to bring about change. The key message is that no one is isolated. Through these journeys, you can connect with remarkable people like yourself.

My wife is amazing. Without her support during my mother’s journey, I would never have made it this far. Even now, as an advocate, there are days that are incredibly challenging. You know, my recent surgeries didn’t go as I had hoped. When I was in the hospital, I kept my phone on for the sake of Parkinson’s, which is something that is so important to me. I think about what my mother went through every day, and seeing others continue their fight motivates me to help even more. There’s just not enough time in the day to connect with everyone, but I’m truly excited to talk to you today. There’s so much going on; there are so many remarkable people. It’s an honor to call you a friend. I’m grateful that you’re in the book.

“I want everyone to know that they are never alone,” George says. “Together, our voices are amplified. By sharing our experiences, we can reach more people, help more families, and create a more connected community.”

George: "Wendy made a great video that I've shared everywhere. I've even gotten emails from people saying they went ahead and ordered the book after watching the video."

George acknowledges that he and Wendy work closely together, especially in getting their message out and creating awareness.“Wendy and I are definitely a team in this fight, ”says George, emphasizing the importance of working together to create awareness.

"I do this as a volunteer, "he says." All profits are donated to organizations like the Michael J. Fox Foundation and the Parkinson's Foundation. It's a labor of love and purpose."

George: “I want everyone to support you and subscribe to your magazine. We have linked it on my website, and I am here to help you in anyway I can.To everyone listening, we send our love and support. Remember, you are never alone. Wendy and I will definitely continue to be a team in this fight; there is still a lot of work to be done. You are not the only one dealing with this.”
