Fundraising for the Power of Two

Last night the whole family went to a very special fundraiser for the Power of Two Film. We got to see a preview of a rough cut of the film, and I was astounded by how wonderful it was. This documentary was engaging, heart wrenching, and full of hope. In other words, it was everything I could have hoped it would be. Ana, Isa and the whole crew have been working so hard this past year to get this movie going and you can really see the hard work is going to pay off, not only in an amazing film, but also in bringing awareness to organ donation and to cystic fibrosis. Anna played a major roll in the film, which we were all surprised by. She displayed the sick side of CF, the waiting for the lungs that will save her life. I am so proud of Anna for being so comfortable with showing so much of herself at this vulnerable stage. They showed a lot of the horrible CF coughing that makes her winded and takes her breath away and Anna, true to form, even when out of breath on the film cracked a joke and made the whole theater laugh. My mom also is very touching and you could see her involvement throughout the movie and also in the prayerflags that strung through from beginning to end. This is a very important film that will open the eyes of many people to organ donation and how much it can change many peoples lives. GREAT JOB! Cant wait to see the final version!
