Dandy
Kids Documentary
Dandy Kids is a documentary about families who share their
life experiences of looking for answers from a limited
number within the medical community. Over and over again
families struggle to find answers for a diagnosis for which
the cause and treatment are not known. Many are told
pregnancies should be terminated, and that the prognosis is
hopeless. Dandy Kids will depict the experts, advocates, and
ultimately the Heroes who by way of faith, perseverance, and
unconditional love live life to the fullest every day! Many
times this is done minute by minute, second by second, and
in the research labs chromosome by chromosome. This
documentary is being made in conjunction with Congress,
Researchers and those families effected by the various types
of Dandy Walker malformations, to promote research and raise
awareness, and give HOPE! |

One boy's Aunt
connects with families around the world in search of of what it
means to live with the many faces of Dandy Walker Syndrome, and how
she can help those receiving a diagnosis to look for answers. |
Dandy Kids Documentary needs your
help!
We already are scheduled to screen this documentary in numerous
theaters and across the country for politicians, researchers, and
the medical community starting in January 2008. Our plan is to push
Dandy Kids out there for the World to see.
We plan on qualifying Dandy Kids for the Academy Awards in 2009.
This process allows us to
raise awareness to a much broader audience in a relatively short
time frame.
In order to do this we must screen in 2008 in various cities for a
minimum of 1 week, 3 times a day, which will include Los Angeles and
New York. This qualification process is costly and grueling but it
will bring these incredible children and their families and their
needs to the forefront of the minds of millions. By promoting this
film across the country people will know what Dandy Walker Syndrome
is and why help is needed. Legislation is a great thing and I
encourage everyone to contact their representative just as I have.
However the bottom line is that these families need our help where
the rubber meets the road.
We must also take out print ads in the local papers for each
screening, very costly approach.
Whether we win or not is not the issue, it is only a vehicle to meet
our needs for the thousands of families if not millions affected by
Dandy Walker Syndrome. A lot of publicity will be done during this
process.
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with Dandy Walker
Syndrome or Variant or Malformation, I ask that you tell everyone
you know to support us and this amazing project.
This is a project which provides families with information and
knowledge to be able to make a choice of what is best for their
family. Until now they have not had all the information.
All persons donating to this documentary will be listed as sponsors.
Thank you in advance for making it possible to change lives through
this documentary!
