9 minute video


I made a short video for a fundraising golf tournament being held in June  - " Hosie and Brown Auto Parts". I tried to summarize Tommy and Melanie's project from the beginning which started in 2010. I included many news clips. I was not sure whether to show the video to Tommy. It's so easy to make someone look famous when combining several news clips together. I didn't want him to think that way! 


 When I finally showed him the video, he was devastated. Tommy thought it was extremely sad. It took a few days for him to figure out why... He said the picture of Melanie in the hospital made him feel terrible. 
Melanie was absent from school almost 6 months this year for health issues. I think Tommy has realized many things this year and.... unfortunately ...one of them was that presentations, newspapers, and awards don't make Melanie any healthier. Click here to view video
