You probably just watched one of my videos and may or may not have noticed I play
"backwards". That's the result of a brain disorder called Focal Dystonia. It effects the part of my brain that controlls the movement which I need to play drums regularly. It only effects me when I play drums so it's Focal Dystonia but there are many types of Dystonia.
The Free the Brains campaign is an effort to turn the focus of my youTube videos from me to the real heros that need your help. We are officially sponsored by the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation. Dystonia is actually the third most common
movement disorder after Parkinson's Disease and Tremors. The good news is that because Dystonia
doesn't actually damage any part of your brain permanently, doctors
everywhere believe a cure is a possibility! They just don't
work for free and want some dough for their stethoscopes and stuff.
I'm Drumming for a cure! I personally appreciate any help you can give towards either funding research or spreading the word about Dystonia.
It took me close to ten doctors visits before I was properly diagnosed and believe this frustration for others can be avoided with your help.
Vote For A Cure!
All winnings (could be thousands) would be donated towards research! Plus Dystonia would get some serious publicity! Click here to vote

30% of those effected with Dystonia are children.
Video That Started it All
Posted November of 2007 after a friend convinced me to post a video of my progress relearning to play with Dystonia.
