  • Hello everyone. We are a new television show, called, “Living,” built to raise awareness for various diseases. Each show is accompanied by the appropriate medical foundation. We now have foundations that are in support of the project. We are looking for people that would like to be featured on our program to give us a day in the life of a certain, disease, illness, or disorder. This would require us to interview you, your loved ones, and possibly your doctor; or at least a doctor in said field. This would also require us to show your home life and possibly your life at work and how your condition effects your everyday functions. If you are interested in sharing your story please email us at livingpilot@gmail.com. Our intension is to put a human face on illnesses and to spread the awareness of what people must go through to live every day life. Should you chose to send us your story, make sure you include how and or when you acquired the illness, how your life was before, and how it affects your life now. Thank you for you time, and we wish the best to all of you. Jason

  • Jason,

     

    My name is Jeff and I was diagnosed with MS in 1996. Been in a chair since '02 and could certainly tell some tales if you were interested. I live just south of Cleveland and have been a patient at the Cleveland Clinic since late '96. Aside from various daily difficulties, the biggest problem with my situation is the lack of good people in my life. I'm always looking for friends of a feather, or any friends at all. I hope your show goes well, and I hope you want to talk further. If so, e-mail me at smitdog11s@yahoo.com.

    Jeff

  • I was born with Spina Bifida.  I have always been interested in getting my story out in order to help others with Spina Bifida or just coping with any disability struggles.  My life in the last 6yrs has been more difficult due to being in a wheelchair now due to a bilateral below knee amputation & recently going on kidney dialysis.  I am married & have great family & friend support but things have still been difficult. For me, as long as the sky is blue & the sun is shining it's a great day.  Would love to be featured on your show--my life is an open book.  Please email me at kim_dillman@sbcglobal.net if interested in speaking.  Kim

  • Hi there, I just wanted to answer your question for you. There is no website for this show at the moment. Right now, we are in the developement stage of the show. At this point, we are gathering stories to build a show on paper for the pitch to the production company. Right now, there are only 3 of us working on this. We already work for the company that we are pitching it to, so getting the meeting is nothing. But before we sit down with them, we want to have everything laid out on the table. Thanks, Jason
