A Minecraft Movie!

We need to make a special shoutout to the Director of the Minecraft Movie, Jared Hess (and his wife Jerusha)!

A few months ago, I had a thought if I could happen to find an email for him, I could share Grayson’s story, bring awareness to Batten Disease and share with him that he has a huge fan within Grayson! Let’s just say my email found it’s way to him, 💚. We are grateful!

I received excellent care in communication, empathy, and follow through. Jared immediately sent Grayson a video, thanking him for being a fan! He also sent Grayson a hat that was made only for the crew, and then asked to FaceTime Grayson after he watched the movie. Wow!

Grayson is living one special life with experiences to remember a lifetime.
