Hannah Colfer, a 14-year-old suffering from brain seizures

Some of you have already seen an earlier version of the 10-min. video that describes a book project I’m working on, to help find a cure for a deadly (but underfunded) disease. The book (and the video) tell the story of Hannah Colfer, a 14-year-old suffering from brain seizures. Her brother Chris stars in the popular TV series Glee.

Those of you who know my old pal Andy Parisien will appreciate the gorgeous background music he created for this updated version of the video.

The link below connects you to the video on YouTube. My special request is as follows:

If you enjoy the clip, would you be kind enough to forward the link below to as many people as you can? And Part Two, would you ask them to forward it on as well? The more viewings this video gets on YouTube, the more persuaded book publishers will be to get behind an effort designed to spread the word and help cure the millions of Hannahs in the world.

Thanks in advance–and I hope you enjoy the video! Here’s the link: Hannah Colfer, a 14-year-old suffering from brain seizures

Thanks again,
