Help me get When I Walk to the finish line!

Hi everyone,

I am nearing the end of my feature length documentary—When I Walk—that I’ve been working on for the past six years (www.wheniwalk.com). It’s an intimate self-portrait of my diagnosis with multiple sclerosis and the rollercoaster of unexpected events taking place after.

To gain the funds needed to complete the film, I’ve started a campaign asking individuals to make donations to the cause! We’re making good progress and this email is to invite you to become an official supporter. Every dollar only makes the film better and better. The money will go to fund music compositions, post production, additional edits and refinements, and a new trailer. Here’s the site where you can donate:

Every dollar is graciously appreciated, and we offer rewards to backers depending on the level of donation. And a big reminder that all donations are tax deductible – we’re a registered 501c3 nonprofit called- When I Walk Inc.- dedicated to raising awareness for disability rights using film and new media technology.

Thank you for being a supporter of When I Walk!

This is a video journal of my recent expedition to the Sundance Film Festival in Park city, Utah. I’ve had a long history at Sundance, but I’ve never returned with having multiple sclerosis. It was quite the adventure–trudging through the snow, or better said, rolling through the snow. I need to get snow chains on my scooter!

Please do help get the film finished with the Kickstarter campaign!

This was the 1st time that I realized the gravity of the situation at hand. That I was going to be in a wheelchair. This was the 1st time that somebody was so frank with me explaining the different kinds of wheelchairs – power chairs versus power scooters.
for a healthy 27-year-old that’s a lot to take!

Back in 2004, things were really going well for me. I was working on a couple of films, and my most recent production was getting into film festivals all over the world. I traveled to Glasgow, the Canary Islands, Mexico City, and Amsterdam showing my film and loving it.
It was unexpected. My vision was blurry and I was walking off balance. It was unassuming, but over the year, it continued to get worse.
I was spending Christmas with my family in Toronto and I tumbled down the stairs.
All of us with MS have similar stories of surprise and the unexpected when MS first rears his head.
