Young Kids Watch 7 Year Old Little Girl Travel Backward in Time to Infancy

Http://www.GabrielleLaVerde.comWho is Gabrielle LaVerde?Gabrielle LaVerde is a delightful and adored 7-year-old little girl who has been diagnosed with a fatal and rare disease, called Niemann-Pick Type C. The disease is considered an orphan disease since there have only been 500 known cases worldwide. The disease itself renders its victims with Alzheimer's-like symptoms—victims move backward in time and forget how to perform basic functions, such as talking, walking, eating, chewing, swallowing, and breathing.What does this mean? It means that Gabrielle, and other children like her, who suffer from this disease regress. The baby that learned how to talk, the toddler that learned how to walk, and the young child that learned how to play, forgets how to do all of things, as they travel backward in time to their infancy, and lose their memories. This is why the disease is referred to as Childhood Alzheimer's. In the video shown on the right, you will see for yourself how Gabrielle is truly traveling backward in time, for the Gabrielle we know today does not know how to talk, walk, or play, yet she did all of these things before the disease claimed her. This beautiful 7-year-old child that we all know and love will soon be just as she was when she was an infant.As you review our website, you will relieve the events that have taken place since Gabrielle's fatal diagnosis, you will see for yourself, how it was her elementary school classmates that stood up and took a stand to save her life, as if to say "not on my watch". You will read how not only how the community, but the city's mayor recognized and praised them for their heroic and unselfish acts of kindness. You'll read how these youngsters moved parents, businesses, the news media, and elected officials to act. Yet the fight to save Gabrielle LaVerde has just begun. We first learned of Gabrielle's diagnosis in October, 2007. Gabrielle's elementary school classmates were horrified to learn that her disease was fatal, and that there was no cure, miracle drug, or surgery that could save her. Others learned that because the disease itself was so rare, the medical community offered no options for a cure, and the insurance community offered even less. The news, however, did not stop her classmates after the LaVerde's shared a ray of hope for an experimental treatment outside of the United States. After January, 2008, her classmates quickly rallied support, not only from their parents, but from the entire Deltona community to help pay for experimental treatment. The dedication and hard work that Gabrielle's classmates showed to their community, made it clear that the kids were not going to let Gabrielle die on their watch.In February of 2008, the students had already raised close to $3,000, when one 4th-grade student, Ryan, strongly urged his mother to get involved—that mother is me.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1wCXHlII1ERyan's plea and insistence made me go into action, and start designing youtube videos, not only for Gabrielle, but videos to show the support and encouragement of Gabrielle's classmates, the students from Deltona Lakes Elementary. Shortly thereafter, I created this website for Gabrielle to:Increase awareness of the disease known as Niemann-Pick Type CCreate awareness about Gabrielle LaVerde's conditionShare with supporters recent and upcoming events to help Gabrielle.News of the children's fundraising efforts spread, and the local media started to pay attention. It was then that reporter Kathleen Rasche contact performing artist Lloyd Marcus to help. Since then Mr. Marcus has been instrumental at creating awareness and organizing benefit concerts for Gabrielle.Visit our website for more:http://www.GabrielleLaVerde.comSee how Elementary School Kids Raised $10,800 for Dying Girl in Less than 3 Months!

Games you've never played 4: Rhythm Tengoku

Now this one, I'm sure a lot of people haven't played. :\Here, we tackle another rhythm game, this time for the Gameboy Advance. (Actually, due to its popularity in Japan, they made a sequel for the Nintendo DS, so Ouendan isn't alone, :D). I decided to do a Remix Level of the game just to give a sample of what the game's about. A few mess ups, but eh, still got the best rank. And now, a story!When I first heard about a game called "Warioware: Mega Microgame$," I couldn't wait to get it! I pre-ordered, checked my game store every day to see if they had it. When it finally came and I got to play it, I said to myself, "What the Hell is this?!" It was the first time I played the game personally, and had no idea what it was about. But the point was simple, you had about 3 seconds to complete this microgame, and you were off to the next one. At first I was a bit annoyed that I couldn't get much of a chance to play each one, but that was the whole point. In the end, I ended CRAVING the game, and bought just about every game in the series.Why am I even talking about a game that's not in the video? Well, if you've PLAYED Warioware, you would notice that this game has the same style. If you DO notice and ask yourself "why?," well that's because both games were made by the same developers, pretty crazy, huh?Anyway, the game is crazy fun, especially if you have headphones. It's one of those games where you just bob your head up and down. Very random game indeed, but hey, it's Japanese. I mean, look at the prize I get in the end! Definitely worth the import--or download for some of you.BTW NEXT VIDEO WILL BE CID'S RUN OF "CONTRA" WHY AM I CAPPING THIS BECAUSE I'M PISSED THAT I'M SO SLOW LOL OH WELL TAKE CARE KTHXBAI! I HAVE ALZHEIMER'S!
