The Power Of Two: With Every Breath - 10.08.09

On Thursday, Oct. 8th, 2009, "The Power Of Two" traveled to Sendai in the North of Japan for a whirlwind 24 hours that will likely be remembered as one of the highlights of our 25-day journey. Our time in Sendai was schedled as part of an effort to help launch a new nonprofit organization in Japan called the "Committee to Enable Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Treatment." And, our group was fortunate to participate in a tremendous, high energy charity concert featuring singer/songwriter Mitsutoshi Ambe and the Miyagi Women's Chorus. The resulting video features key people from the small but vibrant CF community in Japan; Robin Modlin, a CF Mom from the United States who came with us to Japan to help build a meaningful connection among our CF communities; and a number of incredibly moving moments from the perspective of Ana and Isa who were central to the evening's program.

This clip is very beautiful and so full of spirit and love. I felt like crying myself thinking about the lack of treatment for people with CF in Japan.

Ana & Isa - You are doing so much good in the world.

Love...
