I don't know why I never thought of this before. I do have the beginnings of a story about Cerebellar Ataxia-and it would be such a public service to talk about it publically-over 150,000 people in the United States, and many many more around the world, have some form of ataxia.
**I would like JT to play the lead because she sort of resembles me when I was younger-except I have brown hair and brown eyes.
SUMMER BORN
CHAPTER 1-Mandy Wheeler, 17, relates her anxiety about her mild staggering and illegible handwriting. She tells her friend, Heather, that she hopes that these symptoms will go away-like a bad cold.
Mandy tries to hide her symptoms from her boyfriend, Joey. She tells him that she is going to the neurologist.
CHAPTER 2-Mandy and her father go to the neurologist. The neurologist notes a reason for Mandy's staggering-CEREBELLAR ATAXIA. He refers her to a specialist.
CHAPTER 3-Mandy is home, and reacts to her diagnosis. She is afraid to tell Heather or Joey. Her Grandpa consoles her and tells her brother, Randy.
CHAPTER 4-Back at school.

I do have complete confidence that Jim Carrey would do an excellent job as a director.
