Another September has just blown past and – if you don’t know – September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month. \u00a0They haven’t cured it, so why stop talking about it? I have no idea how any special cause gets its own month but it’s silly to think that we should forget the kids until next September\u00a0because (A) #CancerSTILLSucks. And (B),\u00a0I would really like for you to see a film I made about one young girl who fought the disease. It’s called Dear Chelsey<\/a> and you can get it on\u00a0Amazon.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"DearChelsey.poster\"<\/a>Many have asked if they can stream Dear Chelsey<\/a> from any where like Netflix or iTunes – not yet. Working on it is all I can say at this point.\u00a0If you buy it, watch it. That’s why I made it. It’s not the next Iron Man or Batman – but there is a Batman in it. It’s not a blockbuster because that’s not what it is. It’s a very personal story that many of us don’t necessarily have a connection to, but one that\u00a0any<\/em>\u00a0of us could find themselves in literally before this day is through.<\/p>\n

Dear Chelsey is hard to watch – even for me – and I spent every free moment of time I had for about 2 years of my life putting it together. It’s a punch in your gut, in your face, and a kick in your ribs when you’re down. It is also full of hope, and triumph, and inspiration. This is a peek inside a life I wish no one would ever live – but about 13,000 kids and families every year do.<\/p>\n

Just know that if you buy it, 100% of the proceeds go to\u00a0Snowdrop Foundation<\/a>\u00a0to fund cancer research at Texas Children’s Cancer Center<\/a> and to provide tuition support for college-bound cancer survivors.<\/p>\n
