Incredible news!!! My documentary film 7 Yards<\/a><\/b> is now on Netflix<\/a><\/b> \ud83d\ude4f\ud83d\ude4c\ud83d\ude2e<\/p>\r\n

To be on the world’s largest streaming platform means this film has the opportunity to encourage so many more people<\/strong>. This is helping to serve out my purpose in life- To inspire others.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

I can still remember the first evening people started calling me an inspiration. I thought Woah, you got the wrong guy. I\u2019m not an inspiration! <\/em>My dad would read to me messages from people on my CaringBridge site. Hearing words of encouragement while in the ICU helped me to deal with all of the emotions I was wrestling with at night.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

I deflected the notion of being an \u201cinspiration.\u201d All I was trying to do was to get better, not to inspire others. I didn\u2019t think I qualified to be one. However, knowing my response to my painful experience was encouraging someone else to be hopeful in their adversity felt good.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

On the days I wasn\u2019t motivated to keep going for myself I found the motivation to keep going for those who were watching my example. By considering everyone who was counting on my determination created a reason to keep fighting. It gave my pain a purpose. That purpose still drives me to this day.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Just because you might not be called an inspiration doesn\u2019t mean your actions and character are any less important. What you do and how you do things impacts everyone around you. Be a positive role model in your circle of influence. Always consider who is counting on you. It will keep you going when you don\u2019t feel like it.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

HOW YOU CAN HELP \ud83d\ude4f\ud83d\udc47\ud83d\udc47\ud83d\udc47<\/p>\r\n


\r\nMy goal is to\u00a0get 7 Yards on Netflix’s top 10 list!\u00a0My hope is that it will be the\u00a0most uplifting film of the year<\/em>.

Netflix will show the film on people\u2019s main feed the\u00a0more views and likes the film gets!\u00a0Thank you for your unwavering support.\u00a0
