You’re invited to “Search for Winter Stars: One Family’s Journey with Parkinson’s and Caregiving” at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 20, in Rockin K’s event space at 1880 Kimball Ave. This program will be presented virtually by Dave Iverson in conjunction with Pig Out for Parkinson’s.

In 1971, Dave Iverson was 22-years-old when his dad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. It was the beginning of a family story that would repeat itself when his older brother received the same news in the early 1990s and then in 2004, Dave was diagnosed, also.

Dave spent his career in broadcast journalism and made more than 20 documentary specials for PBS, including the 2009 Frontline film, My Father My Brother and Me, which documented his family’s journey with Parkinson’s.

A few years after Dave was diagnosed, he made another decision that changed his life -- he moved back into his childhood home to care for his 95-year-old mother. Dave’s new memoir, Winter Stars: An Elderly Mother, An Aging Son and Life’s Final Journey, is the story of their 10-year caregiving odyssey. Dave will offer an intimate, unvarnished account of his family journey with Parkinson’s and the challenges, choices and unexpected rewards of caring for someone during life’s final journey. No registration is required to attend.
