The Merrymakers = Major Tissue Alert

[Guest guest]

Hi Guys,

The Merrymakers are a group of dancers all with disabilities and a lot of

them have ds.

A documentary on them was shown on Aussie TV tonight, so please check it out

at www.abc.net.au/tv/enoughrope and their website is www.themerrymakers.com

au.

But be warned, I´ve still got tears running down my face nearly an hour

after the show finished. Don´t just buy the box, buy shares in the company,

cos I think you´ll need them, I know I did.

Wow, these guys just blew me away, let me know what you think about them,

Aussie

Yup your right...buy stock in kleenex. This was great. Wish we had

something like the merrymakers here! Thanks for sharing. I will just go mop

up my

tears now.

Thanks so much, Cas - I did see it, finally, and it is a tearjerker - I wish

there were something like that in every city!

We do have a dance class here in Central Ohio for kids with special needs.

The very ironic thing is that I signed Olivia up for the first eight weeks and

she loved it. I told a friend of mine about it, her daughter with ds is a year

older than Livi. She signed up for the next session too, and has some

behavior issues. Well, pulled Olivia's hair three times in the second class

- even with helpers around, she was just so fast, the last time Livi fell on the

floor, to stop it from hurting, I think - and after that Livi wouldn't go back.

She would tell us no she didn't want to go, and when we went anyway, it didn't

change her mind, and when she saw again, that was the end. She gets upset

if we say 's name!

The director was so understanding about the whole thing, we talked about it, and

she sent us a frefund, and said if we ever wanted to try it again without

in class, she would arrange it. I don't know if livi would forget though. But, I

just remembered recently about a cheering class (or whatever they're called)

that I could look into.
