  • *ABRIDGED* Video of Hope in film festival. I need your vote by March 8!

    It looks like I may need your help again. At the urging of a fellow active MSer (who has an uncanny knack for steering me right), I have entered the MS Video of Hope—condensed to 5 minutes—into the 2011 Neuro Film Festival, an annual contest hosted by the American Academy of Neurology Foundation. The public (i.e., you guys) can vote for the “Fan Favorite” through March 8, 2011. The leading vote getter will be screened this April at the Neuro Film Festival in Honolulu during the Academy's 63rd Annual Meeting, which is the world’s largest meeting of neurologists with more than 10,000 attendees.

    Here’s where I need your help. With your assistance—forward this e-mail to friends, Facebook it, Tweet about it, put it on the side of a blimp, oh, and vote—we can open up a can of Whoop MS on the AAN and get this message across to a gaggle of neuros.

    Please help spread the word on the importance of multiple sclerosis research. “Hope and a Clinical Trial to Halt MS” needs your support in the 2011 Neuro Film Festival. Vote for it at the below link by 3/8!

      After what appears to be some, ahem, Chicago-style voting irregularities among many videos, we may have won fan favorite in the 2011 AAN Neuro Film Festival. The announcement will come later, as well as any word of first or second prize, which are judged....

        I wanted to thank everyone for their votes. Hope and a Clinical Trial to Halt MS won the fan favorite award as the top vote getter with over 33,000 votes! It's great that this message has received so much attention.

        For those interested, there is a longer version of the video that I think is more powerful and features a closing highlighting just what those of us with MS are capable of doing. It features dozens and dozens of fellow active MSers.
