Call for Volunteers: We Still Need You!
February 03, 2009
Yesterday, we called on supporters to volunteer by giving an hour of on-line work for Darius Goes West.
The response was overwhelming! We had HUNDREDS write to us to give support. In fact, crew-member Andrew has been up the past thirty hours coordinating our on-line volunteers!
But we’re still not at our 1,000 volunteer goal yet. So if you haven’t signed on: DO IT!!! The computer work is as simple as Google-searching and emailing.
Your support will help bring the cause to eradicate Duchenne muscular dystrophy to the generation that lives and dies with it: young people. Help Darius enlist the support of students across the country; keep Andrew awake! Or, hopefully, make him finally agree to let someone else sort volunteers for a while!
Please write to AndrewDGW@gmail.com if you have any available time to volunteer from your computer.
Thank you!

Accompanied by eleven best friends, Darius Weems, a fifteen-year-old living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), leaves home for the first time in his life. The rowdy crew sets a course for California where they hope to convince MTV to customize Darius's wheelchair on the hit show, Pimp My Ride. Darius Goes West has been enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people of all ages all around the world.
