Circus Remedy - Paul Newman's, Hole in the Wall Gang Camp

Circus Remedy has, since its' inception, had a one person administrative staff, a very dedicated board, a lot of incredible volunteers and a good many angels helping it along. On our second visit to Paul Newman's, Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, the angels were plenty. First and foremost, the incredible Patrick McGuire flew out to Connecticut and performed for HWGC
and Clifford Beers clinic on the same day for no pay. Amanda Cohen, an old friend who I had not spoken with in eleven years, called and said she would donate the air miles needed for Patrick to make the trip. The Nathan Hale House and Omni Hotel graciously donated rooms for the two nights Patrick was there. The entertainment director at HWGC, Laura Dandurand, was a great help and made things exceptionally easy for us... and last and certainly not least, a special thank you to Paul Newman for inviting us and to all the kids at HWGC for sharing your laughter, magic and wonder with us!

Dear NAUGY01,

Thank you to your daughter and yourself for sharing in the circus with us! Circus Remedy began as an idea of sharing the magic of the circus with ailing children, but they very quickly reminded us that the magic comes from all of us experiencing it together. Your daughter and kids like her have made these last few years the very best years of my life. Thank you to her for sharing her courage and clarity and wonder.

Best to you,

Anthony
