"Friedreichs Ataxia" and other neuromuscular diseases Discussed in DVD (Health)
My name is Kerry Westfall. I have spent YEARS developing health strategies for myself as well as others. Last year I finished a DVD which is a compilation of everything i've learned directly from three doctors, my personal trainer and myself. The interesting part is that I use a wheelchair and have a rare neuromuscular disease called "Friedreichs Ataxia". My dream is to share this with the world, as this DVD is very inspirational, motivational and best of all, extremely informative. The main point of this DVD is to benefit medical research which aims to cure "Friedreichs Ataxia" as well as other neuromuscular diseases. Thus, I started the 501(C)(3) charity "Westfall Foundation" of which all income from DVD sales is used for research grants.My goal is to raise 1 billion dollars for medical research, I have recently partnered with amazon.com to help realize my goal.The DVD site is http://www.committoyourhealth.org

"Friedreichs Ataxia" and other neuromuscular diseases Discussed in DVD (Health)
My name is Kerry Westfall. I have spent YEARS developing health strategies for myself as well as others. Last year I finished a DVD which is a compilation of everything i've learned directly from three doctors, my personal trainer and myself. The interesting part is that I use a wheelchair and have a rare neuromuscular disease called "Friedreichs Ataxia". My dream is to share this with the world, as this DVD is very inspirational, motivational and best of all, extremely informative. The main point of this DVD is to benefit medical research which aims to cure "Friedreichs Ataxia" as well as other neuromuscular diseases. Thus, I started the 501(C)(3) charity "Westfall Foundation" of which all income from DVD sales is used for research grants.My goal is to raise 1 billion dollars for medical research, I have recently partnered with amazon.com to help realize my goal.The DVD site is http://www.committoyourhealth.org

"Friedreichs Ataxia" and other neuromuscular diseases Discussed in DVD (Health)
My name is Kerry Westfall. I have spent YEARS developing health strategies for myself as well as others. Last year I finished a DVD which is a compilation of everything i've learned directly from three doctors, my personal trainer and myself. The interesting part is that I use a wheelchair and have a rare neuromuscular disease called "Friedreichs Ataxia". My dream is to share this with the world, as this DVD is very inspirational, motivational and best of all, extremely informative. The main point of this DVD is to benefit medical research which aims to cure "Friedreichs Ataxia" as well as other neuromuscular diseases. Thus, I started the 501(C)(3) charity "Westfall Foundation" of which all income from DVD sales is used for research grants.My goal is to raise 1 billion dollars for medical research, I have recently partnered with amazon.com to help realize my goal.The DVD site is http://www.committoyourhealth.org

"Friedreichs Ataxia" and other neuromuscular diseases Discussed in DVD (Health)
My name is Kerry Westfall. I have spent YEARS developing health strategies for myself as well as others. Last year I finished a DVD which is a compilation of everything i've learned directly from three doctors, my personal trainer and myself. The interesting part is that I use a wheelchair and have a rare neuromuscular disease called "Friedreichs Ataxia". My dream is to share this with the world, as this DVD is very inspirational, motivational and best of all, extremely informative. The main point of this DVD is to benefit medical research which aims to cure "Friedreichs Ataxia" as well as other neuromuscular diseases. Thus, I started the 501(C)(3) charity "Westfall Foundation" of which all income from DVD sales is used for research grants.My goal is to raise 1 billion dollars for medical research, I have recently partnered with amazon.com to help realize my goal.The DVD site is http://www.committoyourhealth.org

"Friedreichs Ataxia" and other neuromuscular diseases Discussed in DVD (Health)
My name is Kerry Westfall. I have spent YEARS developing health strategies for myself as well as others. Last year I finished a DVD which is a compilation of everything i've learned directly from three doctors, my personal trainer and myself. The interesting part is that I use a wheelchair and have a rare neuromuscular disease called "Friedreichs Ataxia". My dream is to share this with the world, as this DVD is very inspirational, motivational and best of all, extremely informative. The main point of this DVD is to benefit medical research which aims to cure "Friedreichs Ataxia" as well as other neuromuscular diseases. Thus, I started the 501(C)(3) charity "Westfall Foundation" of which all income from DVD sales is used for research grants.My goal is to raise 1 billion dollars for medical research, I have recently partnered with amazon.com to help realize my goal.The DVD site is http://www.committoyourhealth.org

"Friedreichs Ataxia" and other neuromuscular diseases Discussed in DVD (Health)
My name is Kerry Westfall. I have spent YEARS developing health strategies for myself as well as others. Last year I finished a DVD which is a compilation of everything i've learned directly from three doctors, my personal trainer and myself. The interesting part is that I use a wheelchair and have a rare neuromuscular disease called "Friedreichs Ataxia". My dream is to share this with the world, as this DVD is very inspirational, motivational and best of all, extremely informative. The main point of this DVD is to benefit medical research which aims to cure "Friedreichs Ataxia" as well as other neuromuscular diseases. Thus, I started the 501(C)(3) charity "Westfall Foundation" of which all income from DVD sales is used for research grants.My goal is to raise 1 billion dollars for medical research, I have recently partnered with amazon.com to help realize my goal.The DVD site is http://www.committoyourhealth.org

"Friedreichs Ataxia" and other neuromuscular diseases Discussed in DVD (Health)
My name is Kerry Westfall. I have spent YEARS developing health strategies for myself as well as others. Last year I finished a DVD which is a compilation of everything i've learned directly from three doctors, my personal trainer and myself. The interesting part is that I use a wheelchair and have a rare neuromuscular disease called "Friedreichs Ataxia". My dream is to share this with the world, as this DVD is very inspirational, motivational and best of all, extremely informative. The main point of this DVD is to benefit medical research which aims to cure "Friedreichs Ataxia" as well as other neuromuscular diseases. Thus, I started the 501(C)(3) charity "Westfall Foundation" of which all income from DVD sales is used for research grants.My goal is to raise 1 billion dollars for medical research, I have recently partnered with amazon.com to help realize my goal.The DVD site is http://www.committoyourhealth.org
