Check out the quilt and some amazing sotries already being shared at http://extraordinarymeasuresthemovie.com/#/quilt.
Just a few of the amazing stories already being shared include, story of Alexandra “Alex” Scott, a young cancer patient who, facing a grim diagnosis, insisted on setting up a lemonade stand to raise money for childhood cancer before succumbing to the disease at age eight. Her stand evolved into a national lemonade stand initiative and foundation which has since raised over $25 million for the cause.
Other videos highlight a mountaineer with Multiple Sclerosis who encourages and inspires other MS patients to find their own “mountains” to conquer, an inner city childrens’ center in Harlem, and two women who joined forces to build a playground equipped for special needs children.
This is a fantastic opportunity for ANY charity (big or small) to get the word out about a cause and possibly win some money!
