Fall Colors On the Road
October 25, 2008
The last few weeks, DGW has been in the northeast U.S. to host screenings, meet with schools, and spread the word about our one-year, one-million DVD initiative.
To get everywhere, we do a LOT of driving.
We also shoot a lot of tape to create content that shares our message.
It can get pretty exhausting. Still, in all that time on the road, surrounded by gorgeous autumn foliage and incredible hospitality, we’ve noticed something. We want to share it with you, our readers and invaluable supporters…
The country is filled with unique places and people, and just about all of them are looking for any excuse to help somebody else out.
That gives us strength in our fight against Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Thank you, supporters, for keeping us going!
15,603 DVDs sold!
Leading States: Georgia, New York, Ohio

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.
The Movement
Darius Goes West is more than a film. The continuing story of Darius, his crew, and the tens of thousands of supporters they have met in their travels can be experienced on this website. This site is continually updated with short videos, blog posts, and innovative initiatives that aim to affect a cure for DMD.
DGW is a registered 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit organization. All proceeds benefit Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy research.
Beautifully expressed.
Thank *you*, Dariues & crew, for keeping on going!
