EAGLE—Eagle-based award-winning filmmakers, Justin Skeesuck and Patrick Gray, are having a virtual screening of their feature-length film, “I’ll Push You,” through Jan. 30, in partnership with Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). The screening is to raise funds to send 500 kids to MDA’s Summer Camp, a place where children living with neuromuscular diseases are able to ask for and receive help and feel empowered.

“I’ll Push You” shares the story of Skeesuck and Gray, best friends who completed a 500-mile wheelchair journey across northern Spain to raise awareness of multifocal acquired motor axonopathy, the rare neuromuscular disease affecting Skeesuck. Even though the story begins with the challenges that come with Gray’s answering of the invitation to push Skeesuck in a wheelchair across northern Spain, it also explores the struggles related to Skeesuck’s disease.
