Extraodinary Measures ~ Inspirational Quilt Project

Sharing is caring!

To celebrate the release of Extraordinary Measures starring Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford, a wonderful opportunity has been presented for any charity to get the word out about their cause . The Inspirational Quilt project allows you to upload a video about your inspirational story and a chance to receive $10,000 for your cause whether it is big or small. The movie’s tagline, “Don’t Hope For a Miracle. Make One,” is inspired by the film’s real-life subject, John Crowley, a father who defied conventional wisdom and great odds, and risked his family’s future to pursue a cure for his children’s life- threatening disease.

Entering is easy!

• Go to the Inspirational Quilt and click on Upload Your Story
• Once your video is uploaded, you will be entered into the sweepstakes for a chance to designate the charity of your choice to receive $10,000.
• Tell your friends to vote to increase your chances of winning.

Some fantastic videos have been uploaded to the Inspirational Quilt and are already in the running for the $10,000 charity donation- including the story of Alexandra “Alex” Scott, a young cancer patient who, facing a grim diagnosis, insisted on setting up a lemonade stand to raise money for childhood cancer before succumbing to the disease at age eight. Her stand evolved into a national lemonade stand initiative and foundation which has since raised over $25 million for the cause.

Even if you don’t have your own inspirational story to share, I hope you will take a moment and vote for some of the amazing stories that need to be heard!
