Georgia Man Begins Hike for Hope on the Appalachian Trail - "Don's Brother" Brings Awareness & Funds to ALS Research

Georgia Man Begins Hike for Hope on the Appalachian Trail - "Don's Brother" Brings Awareness & Funds to ALS Research | #ALS AWARENESS #LouGehrigsDisease #PARKINSONS | Scoop.it
March 22, 2013 2:06 PM

Mike has been journaling his pre-planning on his website, DonsBrother.com. Already he has posted many narratives about his training hikes and preparations; however it is the stories of Don, memories of childhood and good times together as adults that speak the loudest. “Don loved the woods” is echoed throughout the entries and it is in the woods where Mike will feel the closeness of his brother encouraging him when the journey gets rough. Shares Mike, “Every year between two and three thousand hikers begin the trek in late winter or early spring. Fewer than 25 percent reach their goal. I am determined to be one of those who make it.” If all goes well, Mike will reach Mt. Katahdin on the one year anniversary of Don’s death – August 28, 2013.

 

How You Can Help

“Don’s Brother” will be uploading journal entries from the Appalachian Trail at www.donsbrother.com and also on TrailJournals.com . Donations can be made from the website and all funds donated will benefit research for effective treatments and finding a cure for ALS. Mike Stephens says, “A hike needs to be accomplished, but more importantly, a disease must be cured.” Please support Mike – Don’t Brother – and his Hike for Hope on the Appalachian Trail.

Getting Up: The Tempt One Story Trailer

From vimeo.com - March 13, 2013 6:45 AM

 About The Film:http://gettingup-thedoc.com

 

How does a fallen man get back up?

 

Tony ‘TEMPT’ Quan is a legendary LA graffiti artist, social activist and publisher. In 2003, he was diagnosed with ALS (also called Lou Gherig’s Disease), a degenerative nerve disorder which has rendered him unable to move, breathe or speak…...........

But his mind and creative spirit are still intact.

 

In 2009, Mick Ebeling and his Not Impossible Foundation brought a motley crew of international hackers and artists to Los Angeles to attempt the impossible: invent a low-cost, open source DIY device that allows Tempt to once again create art, using the only part of his body that still moves, his eyes. After months of harrowing trial and error, The EYEWRITER was born and Tempt was once again able to create art. Getting Up: The Tempt One Story beautifully illustrates that through the will of two men, and on the shoulders of a community, anything is possible.

 

WE WON THE AUDIENCE AWARD AT SLAMDANCE! Please support and follow the project at Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/gettingupdoc Or visit the film's website: http://gettingup-thedoc.com/
