The Patrick O'Brien Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to promoting awareness of a terminal neurodegenerative disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (also known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease).

It is established in honor of Patrick Sean O'Brien - an artist diagnosed with ALS at the uncommonly early age of 30.

Patrick's current work is filming a documentary of his journey with ALS, as it unfolds across his body. By channeling his energies towards the completion of this film, Patrick hopes to inspire others to keep moving through their own adversities.

The Patrick O'Brien Foundation is releasing an unconventionally voyeuristic DVD highlighting selected excerpts from Patrick's film in progress. In an effort
to build awareness of this devastating disease, the Foundation is releasing a limited number of Patrick's DVDs on January 1st, 2007. All pre-orders made
before December 31 cost $25, after December 31 the cost is $40.

Please learn more about the Patrick O'Brien Foundation at www.patrickobrienfoundation.org. The website is a journey of its own - replete with film footage, photo essays, and updates on Patrick's voyage.

Please take this opportunity to order your DVD on-line, and get the word out with your own DVD House Party.
