Playing to Win
This video, Playing To Win, was made to raise awareness of hereditary ataxia, a rare life shortening, neurological disease causing gradual loss of coordination, balance and impaired speech. The film shares the true story of Dave Lewis as he challenged himself to live life to the fullest in the face of his grim diagnosis. He believed in the power of research to find a cure for ataxia and we continue that quest in his memory. This film has been entered into the 2013 Neuro Film Festival from the American Brain Foundation at http://www.NeuroFilmFestival.com. Let #39;s put our brains together to cure brain disease.

Walk, Talk Breathe A Benefit for Eugene Pixley
Our dear friend Eugene is basically going through hell. He is suffering severely from a genetic condition called Spino-Cerebellar Ataxia Type 7. SCA is a progressive and extremely aggressive illness that results in the eventual loss of motor functions such as walking, difficulty speaking/slurred speech and as the muscles atrophy, even the loss of the ability to breathe. Unfortunately, SCA is hereditary and Eugene lost his two year old son, Kane, just last year to this devastating affliction. Eugene is a stand up guy! He is an amazing friend and his generosity is only surpassed by his compassion. The man would give the shirt of off his back to help you. Now it #39;s our turn to help him by donating here! The cost of testing for SCA and the eventual treatments are astronomically expensive, just the initial blood tests are $1000+! We are throwing this benefit in the hopes that you ALL will open up your hearts and help our friend Eugene out, so that instead of worrying about the finances, he can focus on grieving baby Kane and being there for his wife April and two sons, Austin and Caleb. http://www.helpeugene.comFrom:PJVisualProductionsViews:37 0ratingsTime:02:45More inNonprofits Activism
