We are open to any and ALL story ideas and are especially looking for the following:
* Extraordinary Mom/Dad recently diagnosed with ALS
* Family who has child w/ PROGERIA (aka "little old man disease")
* Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis, referred to as CIPA by the few people who know about it. (There are 17 known cases in U.S. - let me know if one is in your town!) This is where kids cannot feel any physical pain.
* Muscular Dystrophy Child - Amazing kid who is changing people's views about MD
* MADD/Drunk Driving - Family turns tragedy into triumph after losing a child to drunk driving
* Family who has multiple children w/ Down Syndrome (either adopted or biological)
* Amazing/loved Mom or Dad diagnosed with melanoma / skin cancer
* Home Invasion - family robbed, house messed up (vandalized) - kids fear safety in their own home now
* Victims of hate crime in own home. Family's house victim of arson or severely vandalized.
