“It Starts with a Voice” {Music Video}

Filmed by Matt

The Wrights are a fantastic family. As parents, Ben and Amy have raised 4 wonderful children. Two of them Beau and Bitti were born with Down Syndrome. As a family, they have pledged to help “Spread the Word to End the Word” (the “r” word). With their musical theater backgrounds, Ben and Amy jumped off the sidelines to get involved with the Special Olympics campaign by transforming what was written on their hearts, into a song! “It Starts with a Voice” premiered at a Thalian Hall benefit concert June 14th to a sold out crowd! I was honored to not only film that event, but also spend the next few weeks with the Wright Family at their home. The result, is THIS music video for “It Starts with a Voice”!

After you watch the 4 1/2 minute video, get off your butt and take action by:

1. Spreading this video around on twitter and facebook

2. Pledging to stop using the r-word

3. Support the Special Olympics by purchasing this song on itunes
