Sarcoidosis 15 min Documentary Project.mov

To all my viewer's, this documentary was a school project for one of my film classes. Our professor instructed us to pick a subject that we were passionate about or a subject that we wanted people to know about that has not been talked about in the media often. This assignment, I feel was given specificaly for me. I'm passionate about helping to bring awareness to sarcoidosis and help in funding research to find a cure, plus this topic is difinitley something that has NOT had a lot of media attention, so when the professor told us the assignment, I felt the spirit of my mother telling me this is it, this is what you were meant to do......So in honor of my mother, I produced this 15 minute mini documentary about sarcoidosis.....


Please join my family in the 1st Annual Deloris D. Mayo Walk for Sarcoidosis walk-a-thon on July 14, 2012 at Mt. Trashmore Lake Park in Va. Beach, Va. This event is in honor of my mother, Deloris D. Mayo who lost the battle of he life to an incurable diesase called Sarcoidosis. Many may have never heard of this or some may have heard of it because this is the same disease that Bernie Mac had suffered with.

Currently there is no cure and little public information about Sarcoidosis. It is my dream to help others get educated so they could seek proper medical care, sadly enough a lot of doctors don't really know what sarcoidosis is and it's often misdiagonoised. (This is such an unfortunate true fact) I want to help raise funds to aid in the research of better treatment and hopefully soon a cure.

Friends and family that live in the VA, DC, MD, & NC area please come out and support me in my efforts to make this event successful. Since the death of my mother, this has been something that has been placed in my heart to do, and I'm going to do my very best to make this happen. It took me a while to get things to come together but everything is lining up accordingly.

Please visit my website to become a sponsor, donate an offer, register individually or in teams, volunteer, donate a charitable contribution that we may use the day of the event, such as snacks, water, specific services, or just if you want to get more information about sarcoidosis. Our website is www.delorisdmayowalk4sarcoidosis.org

I look forward to seeing you on July 14, 2012.

God Bless!
