Coming up 10/30 - 9:00am - The Magic Yarn Project Founder & CEO - Holly Christensen

LISTEN 
to today's show 
featuring Holly Christensen

My name is Holly Christensen. I have often witnessed the scary and painful world of cancer as an oncology nurse, friend, and family member. I’ve always held my cancer patients very close to my heart.

In 2014, upon learning that a friend’s daughter had been diagnosed with cancer and would likely be in the hospital for a while, I began to think of what I could do to help bring some magic and light to this little girl’s life during the trying days that I knew were ahead for her.

Knowing how difficult it would be for her to lose her beautiful blonde curls, I made her a Rapunzel yarn wig and sent it in the mail.

She was overcome with joy.

My friend remarked at how many other little girls in that hospital would love to have such a special gift, as it had had such an impact on her daughter’s demeanor and happiness during her treatments.

I began to organize what I thought would be a small project creating a few dozen wigs to send to little cancer patients, and I put up a request on Facebook for yarn donations. Within hours, I was flooded with responses from around the world—mothers who wanted these wigs for their little girls who have cancer, complete strangers who wanted to help by donating money to buy yarn, professionals reaching out and requesting wigs for their hospitals, and more.

What started as a small project has snowballed into something much bigger than I ever expected! Thanks to the popularity of these wigs, The Magic Yarn Project was born, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We are the original and the largest organization making yarn wigs for children with medical hair loss.

Our entire Magic Yarn team has been overwhelmed with the donations and desire to help that has come from all over the world. Since our humble beginnings in 2015, the spirit of service has touched the hearts of tens of thousands. We estimate that Magic Yarn has spurred over 300,000 hours of volunteering over the last decade. We have received thousands of photos and stories from grateful parents, telling us how much it meant to their child to feel comfortable and playful again. Children rest in bed with their wigs when they are too sick to play; they wear them for courage during painful procedures; they show them off when they triumphantly ring the bell signaling their graduation from chemotherapy. Some grieving parents have even told us that the child they lost was buried wearing their Magic Yarn wig. Our hearts are shattered and healed over and over again when we hear how much it means to suffering families to know that strangers cared enough about their child to send them a handmade gift. The knowledge that they are not alone in the worst ordeal of their lives is a priceless gift.

Our ever-growing organization is funded solely by donations, and we are still 100% volunteer powered. The Magic Yarn Project was created to answer the call to bring light to little cancer fighters, and to help community members discover ways to be those light-givers. We’d like to invite you to watch our 4-minute video, and see for yourself that Magic is something that you can make: http://youtu.be/E9wtHskTI2g.

Yours in service,
Holly Christensen

Newport Beach, CA – October 15, 2024—The filmmakers for 76 Days Adrift, will premiere at The Newport Beach Film Festival. The gripping documentary from executive producer Ang Lee, which immerses viewers in the harrowing survival story of Steven Callahan is directed by Joe Wein and features an evocative score by Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump. This documentary feature delves deep into one man’s incredible journey of endurance and resilience.

The film will screen on Sunday October 20 at 12pm at The Lot 3,

Newport Beach, CA 92660. It will next premiere at the Naples International Film Festival on Friday October 25, Saturday October 26 and Sunday October 27 followed by DOC NYC in New York on Wednesday November 20 and Thursday November 21.

Based on Callahan's New York Times bestselling memoir Adrift: 76 Days Lost at Sea, the documentary recounts his terrifying experience after a collision with a whale left his boat sinking in the middle of the Atlantic on February 4, 1982. Alone on a life raft with only a basic emergency kit, Steven spent 76 days at the mercy of the vast ocean, battling not only the elements but also his inner fears and limits.

76 Days Adrift is more than a survival story; it’s an exploration of the unbreakable human spirit and the profound bond between humanity and nature. With raw, emotional storytelling and stunning cinematography, the film invites audiences to witness an extraordinary tale of courage, adaptation, and sheer willpower.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


DIRECTOR SUSAN WOLF’S GROUNDBREAKING DOCUMENTARY

“LEARNING TO BE NAKED” WILL MAKE L.A. PREMIERE

AT THE 20th LA FEMME INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, OCT. 24-27, 2024



“Like a caterpillar metamorphosing inside a chrysalis, burlesque provides a safe space for many performers to transform, spread their wings and land on stage feeling more confident, beautiful and free.”


LOS ANGELES, October 5, 2024 --:“LEARNING TO BE NAKED”, a powerful and heartrending documentary of transformation and healing through the art of burlesque will screen Oct. 27 as part of the 20th LA FEMME INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL {LAFIFF} at the Regal Theaters at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles, October 24-27.


Produced and directed by Susan Wolf and Machiel Amorison and written by Wolf, the film was edited by Max Vonk, and features burlesque performers Dita Von Teese, Analyn Brook (Eileen Wright), Kia Puckett (Mx. Pucks A’Plenty), Annick Donckers (Loulou La Belle), Anna Paladino (Viola Panik), and Anna Smith Higgs.


“LEARNING TO BE NAKED” seeks to dispel stereotypes about what kinds of bodies deserve to be seen and celebrated. The film follows five extraordinary and unconventional performers as burlesque strips away their shame, gently peels off their insecurities and slowly undresses their pain, including an amputee/breast cancer survivor who proudly performs with her prosthesis and does not hide her scars; and a plus size, black, non-binary performer who is a fierce advocate for BIPOC and LGBTQ artists.


Director Wolf shares “It’s hard to imagine a more vulnerable experience than getting naked on stage–and for some it is precisely this experience that profoundly changes their lives.”


One featured performer, British Anna Smith Higgs, is disabled and a burlesque performer who knows most people do not say those words in the same sentence. Anna suffered a stroke at the age of 24, one month after giving birth to her son. She lost the use of her right arm and much of her vision. Through sheer determination Anna learned to walk again. After her stroke she was deeply depressed but through burlesque she has found “Joy, pure joy. It’s better than any drug,“ says Anna.


“I wanted to change the way people think about the disabled,” she declares. “ I want as many people as possible to see my act because it raises awareness that strokes don't just happen to older people.”


“LEARNING TO BE NAKED” will screen Sun, Oct 27th, at 2:00 PM in Auditorium 12 at the Regal Cinemas at LA Live, 1000 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, 90015


Susan Wolf , Eileen Wright and Mx. Pucks A’Plenty are available for interviews. Contact Deborah Gilels at L.A. Media Consultants to arrange a meeting at ddgilels@prodigy.net or 818-648-9513.

What is Lewy Body Dementia?

The following information about Lewy Body Dementia comes from the Mayo Clinic website.


Overview

Lewy body dementia is the second most common type of dementia after Alzheimer's disease. Protein deposits called Lewy bodies develop in nerve cells in the brain. The protein deposits affect brain regions involved in thinking, memory and movement. This condition is also known as dementia with Lewy bodies.

Lewy body dementia causes a decline in mental abilities that gradually gets worse over time. People with Lewy body dementia might see things that aren't there. This is known as visual hallucinations. They also may have changes in alertness and attention.

People with Lewy body dementia might experience Parkinson's disease symptoms. These symptoms may include rigid muscles, slow movement, trouble walking and tremors.



Symptoms

Lewy body dementia symptoms can include:

Visual hallucinations. Seeing things that aren't there, known as hallucinations, might be one of the first symptoms of Lewy body dementia. This symptom often occurs regularly. People with Lewy body dementia might see shapes, animals or people that aren't there. Hallucinations involving sounds, smells or touch are possible.

Movement disorders. Signs of Parkinson's disease, known as parkinsonian signs, may occur. These symptoms include slowed movement, rigid muscles, tremor or a shuffling walk. This can cause the person to fall.

Poor regulation of body functions. The part of the nervous system that controls automatic functions is called the autonomic nervous system. Lewy body dementia can affect how well the autonomic nervous system controls blood pressure, heart rate, sweating and digestion. This can result in sudden drops in blood pressure upon standing, dizziness, falls, loss of bladder control and bowel issues such as constipation.

Cognitive problems. People with Lewy body dementia might have thinking problems similar to those of Alzheimer's disease. They may include confusion, poor attention, visual-spatial problems and memory loss.

Trouble with sleep. People with Lewy body dementia can have rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder. This disorder causes people to physically act out their dreams while asleep. People with REM sleep behavior disorder may punch, kick, yell or scream while sleeping.

Varying attention. Episodes of drowsiness, long periods of staring into space, long naps during the day or disorganized speech are possible.

Depression. People with Lewy body dementia might develop depression.
Apathy. Loss of motivation may occur.
