Will Davis was introduced to me through Bert Woodard. Both are board members of Joedance. Bert followed Joe's treatments through mutual friends and Will never knew Joe. But they were a pair, as I always put it, "that fell out of the sky to support Joedance".
Will Davis is the developer of an 11th Floor movie making project, as a distraction and therapy for the patient and the content can be about anything. This is not meant to be a documentary of what it is like to have pediatric cancer. It is about bringing any story they want come to life. What a wonderful project that Levine Children's Hospital has embraced and further supports their Family Centered Care philosophy.
Joe would have loved the opportunity to make a short film as patient at LCH. A break from the endless hours of laying in bed without a goal. The mindless days of watching TV and to leave something positive behind as a living memory. This just is the coolest project and I am proud that Joedance is set to support it as a Presenting Sponsor.
Will thank you for your vision.

A Long Time Away
I have been away for a long time and my postings have been far and few between, but I have not forgotten you. I have been busy (understatement) with Joedance. My time is filled with meeting new people, securing sponsors and the general getting out there to spread the word. And it has been exciting, draining, overwhelming, humbling and stressful. None of which are negatives.
I once said in a conversation that I felt those who said we had something special was because they felt sorry for us. But then came the support from people who never knew Joe, and then came the money from those who never heard of Joedance and then we started getting likes on the Facebook page from people we don't know. A friend of a friend wants to help. A person who knows someone who wants to enter their film contacts us. And on it goes.
This is the best way I know to honor Joe and definitely the most rewarding endeavor I have ever done in my life. Thank you all for your support.
