We love hearing from our screening hosts and audience members! Though we have to say, the stories we receive are not usually so spooky and touching at the same time... Here's an email we received recently from a screening host:
“I received the N.E.D. DVDs and postcards and put them in my car the night before our team was going to meet up to discuss our planning of the event. That night my car was broken into! The thief or thieves ransacked my car! The thief opened the N.E.D. envelope, ripped open the DVD inner envelope, must have seen what the postcards and DVDs said on them...then carefully put the DVDs back in and attempted to but the package back together nicely. They then left all our other items in the car, they left my valuables! The package must have touched him or her in some way to leave my car alone after that.”
Can you believe it? We're thankful that this thief had a heart, and hope they pay it forward.
Do you have a story you'd like to share on our blog? An anecdote from a N.E.D. screening, a reflection on the movie and its themes of cancer advocacy, your personal cancer story... all are welcome! Let us know!
