Bracelet/band (“wristband selfie”) explained

We (The Ackerman Family) use our personal funds and resources to send the wristbands to individuals who support our cause of raising awareness of Parkinson’s Disease and actively fighting to find a cure.

We are happy to add you to the list but understand that we will not ask for nor accept any funds or donations directly to togetherforsharon™. We are limiting the amount of wristbands we send out to 1,000 per year in the U.S. Instead, we ask that you send any support to the American Parkinson’s Disease Association (APDA), Parkinson’s Foundation or TeamFox (The Michael J. Fox Foundation where you can also get a receipt for tax purposes if needed. (See above under “Donations & Fundraising”)

Please do not send us any donations directly.

The wristband selfie

Join us! Take a selfie of you wearing your wristband and wear it in support of Parkinson’s Disease awareness. Post a picture of you wearing your wristband to your favorite social media platform to show your support and help keep the memory of my mother’s battle and loss to this terrible disease. 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!

The incredible support we’ve received is truly helping us cope with the loss of our mother, who we miss every day. Know that your words of comfort, care, and love will spur us on to continue to fight against this disease until no other family need endure the tragic loss as we have.
