Good news for us, yesterday after uploading 2 videos of what Santina and I worked on, finding accessibility and the Paralympics, I received a call from CNN that a producer was interested in our mission to bring awareness to spinal cord dysfunction issues in life. They added the videos to ireport seen on CNN internationally. Now that the interest is there from what we know as a world wide News Media, all we have to do is send and share these videos to as many friends online we can. Please pass on, newsletter, blog if possible, this is an inspiring step for spinal cord awareness we’ve so long worked together to be noticed by the world.

Nice videos (I want to go get my nails done now), but I really thought the first video would concentrate on more accessibility - I realize you guys went to that spa and it was a great experience. But, I kind of thought that the video was heavy on that doctor with his cosmetic procedures and not about accessibility of public places. This comes off more as a commercial for that particular spa rather than an informative video on accessibility issues (narrow hallways, heavy doors ... you know the kind of things that everyone takes for granted but anyone in a wheelchair notices).

It's good to see that you've found an outlet on CNN for your videos. Best of luck for your future videos. :(
