In case you haven't heard, Darius made his debut on national television last night. Anchor Martin Bashir did an oustanding job telling our story on Nightline. If you haven't done so already, we hope you will log on to www.abc.com and thank Nightline and ABC for running this incredible piece. Having lost a brother to DMD 16 years ago, Bashir had a special connection with Darius and our cause, making the story even better.
We had a Nightline viewing party with most of the crew, Darius, and D's mum, Jamie (as well as big-time supporters Laura Benson, Rebecca Corey, Sophie Kohn and others) at the Athens home of Tiffany and Chris Hines. Check out the pictures we've posted. Martin Bashir called Darius just before the broadcast and right after it. Check out D's beaming smile while he talks on the phone. Fame becomes him, don't you think? Bashir also talked to Jamie, and plans to keep in touch with her and Darius.
If you missed the broadcast, you can see the video online at http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline. Click on "2" and click on "video."
Logan and Ben have made it home safely from Calgary. Next stop: the Omaha Film Festival in 10 days.
Darius LOVES all the messages you've been sending him, but please understand that while he'd love to reply to you, it's extremely difficult for him to type.
DGW...Know about it!
