Fighting Lou Gehrig's Disease - One Penny At A Time

Every time someone watches this video, sponsors donate to cure ALS

 

As you may know, we recently built a home in Pine Mountain Valley, Georgia for Jeremy Williams and his family as part of an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition episode that is airing on ABC on May 16th @ 8:00 PM EST.  I'm sure you are familiar with the show but in a nutshell, each episode features the building or renovation of a house for a family that is facing a hardship. The families are chosen by ABC from thousands of applications. The location is kept secret until the day work is set to begin and the family learns of its good fortune.

 

Those of us who have been part of this project all agree, we are actually the ones who received the good fortune, the gift of meeting and getting to know the family we were so fortunate to be paired with.  We went to Georgia to give the gift of a new home, we returned as the bigger beneficiaries.  What we got from the experience far exceeds what we gave.  For more on the family, click Meet The Family in the e-Update Menu to the right.

 

Amazing Video, Amazing Man

So we put together a video about Jeremy Williams, a man who lives life to the fullest despite the daily challenges he faces and asks the same of others around him who face much smaller challenges.

 

And he does it with an amazingly infectious spirit and a positive attitude.  

 

Watch the video at http://www.palmharbor.com/extremephn/video/ and every time someone watches it, the sponsors of the video donate to the ALS Association.  So tell others please

 

The purpose of the video is to raise awareness and money for ALS Research, on behalf of Jeremy and his family.  So  we are asking companies to donate a penny to ALS research every time the video is watched online.  So we'll generate $ toward a cure for ALS every time someone watches the video……the thinking is people will spread it virally like we experienced with the 100,000 people donating $1 each toward the mortgage and wheelchair accessible van.  We will list the companies as sponsors and we will obviously be a sponsor as well.


Here's how simple it is:


Step One

-Go to http://www.palmharbor.com/extremephn/video/  

-Play the video called Move That Bus and Help Cure ALS

-Then email the link to everyone you know. Post it on your Facebook page.  Ask your employer to send it to all employees. Ask your church, school and mailman to spread the word  :)

(There is no charge to the viewer and no obligation - other than to help spread the word)


Step Two

If you are willing to do more, download the new song Move That Bus by clicking here. A portion of the proceeds goes to ALS.  Or buy the new CD (which has four additional songs) by clicking here.  Buy several and give to friends and family - it's a great way to tell the story.


Step Three

Then if your company or if you know of a company interested in becoming a sponsor of the video, ask them to email me for more information or go to this sponsorship page for details. 

 

It's a simple process to help cure a deadly disease.
