VCIL Presents Spotlight on Disability
This week we are going to talk about Telethons because on Saturday October 24 Kevin Hart will be hosting Muscular Dystrophy Association Telethon, for years hosted by Jerry Lewis and shown over Labor Day weekend. When Mike Ervin was a child he was selected to be "Jerry's Kid" and promoted on the telethon.
Now Mike calls himself a "Jerry's Orphan" and as an adult made it his mission to shut down the telethons and show the truth that these telethons only promote pity and do not help the children that have muscular dystrophy. Mike has given us permission to watch the movie. We hope you will join us (a link to movie will be shared during Zoom) and watch the move and then come back for a discussion with our special guest Ash Brittenham.
Ash Brittenham a former Vermonter, talented poet and strong advocate. Ash is 23 and now lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with his dog. He enjoys comics, movies and hanging with friends and family.
The film is open caption and the talk with Ash will have an ASL interpreter
