Hellooooo Georgia!
The short video above announces the Darius Goes West Foundation’s goal to sell one million DVDs. This bar is set high, but the stakes are much higher.
We are visiting all fifty states to see this goal through.
We are asking each state to purchase or sponsor 20,000 DVDs.
With support from every state, the entire country can enjoy a good film while funding research for a disease that affects children everywhere.
Georgia Population: 9.5 million State Challenge: 20,000 DVDs
Georgians have purchased or sponsored 4,607 DVDS!

While the count of the DVDs is accurate, the DGW web team has only recently set up a system that allows us to thank our supporters by name. If you’ve bought two or more DVDs and your name is not listed in the corresponding category, please let us know so we can add it to the list.Also, we DO track accumulating DVD purchases. If you buy DVDs at two or more times, we will add up the total. For example, if you have purchased 11 DVDs in the past and you purchase one more today, then your name will be moved up to the bronze level.
Thank you so much for your continued support!
The Movie 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.
