Community Tzedekah Project to benefit Charley’s Fund, a non-profit organization that funds research into a cure for DMD (for more information go to www.charleysfund.org) This movie serves many purposes and is appropriate for middle and high school students. It is a wonderful movie that teens can watch over and over again and teaches them many important life lessons. This is a chance to get all the Baltimore Jewish teens
together. Co-sponsored by Shoshana S. Cardin School, Baltimore area Jewish Teen Youth Groups, Beth El Congregation and the Berman-Lipavsky Religious School.

In this multi-award-winning documentary, fifteen-year-old Darius Weems and eleven of his best friends set off across America. The result is a rarely seen testament to the explosive idealism of today’s youth, as well as a vivid portrayal of adventure, of brotherhood, and of the character and strength it takes to shed light on an uncertain future.

Not only does Darius Weems bravely face his own inevitable fate with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), but through his unflinching humor and his extraordinary laugh, he sparks a revolution in the lives of everyone who crosses–and then shares–his courageous path. Part revolution, part revelation, this film proves to people of all ages how life, even when imperfect, is always worth the ride.

DMD is the number one genetic killer of children in the world. The viewers of Pimp My Ride represent the age group that lives and dies with DMD, and the generation that scientists believe will discover a cure for this disease.
