The impact of WAYS TO LIVE FOREVER continues! After making this inspirational, cancer-themed picture, young star Robbie Kay (Sam) and his father, Ivan Kay, became personally involved with fundraising for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS; one of the many charities that officially supported the movie) and its ongoing fight against blood cancers. On Monday, June 2, Ivan will participate in LLS Team In Training ride, which goes 109 miles around Lake Tahoe, CA. His aim is to raise over $4,500 for the cause. World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation is extremely proud of the Kay family's efforts. Please click here to make a donation or offer him some encouragement for this challenging event.

Cancer Prevention Month may be coming to a close, but that doesn’t mean that we should lose sight of the threat that the diseases poses to us all. Cancer is now the leading cause of mortality in the world, affecting an increasing number of people yearly - both those who become ill as well as their loved ones. And yet, a recent study shows that approximately 1-in-3 cases can be prevented. A balanced diet, exercise, and early detection can save lives.

However, "the most important thing a person can do if they get cancer is keep living, and that is the inspirational message of WAYS TO LIVE FOREVER," says Paul Hancock, President of World Wide Motion Pictures, the film’s distributor. A moving tale of a 12-year-old boy (Robbie Kay, "Once Upon A Time") diagnosed with leukemia who wants to learn everything he can about life… and death, and pass that wisdom onto others, Ways represents for many both the excitement of life and a touching approach to the sadness of its end.

"WAYS TO LIVE FOREVER is a fantastic film in its own right," continues Hancock, ‘but we’re also immensely proud to be involved with a project of such social importance.’ The film has won numerous awards and has been screened in select theaters to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It is coming soon to DVD.

In recognition of World Cancer Day, the Minnesota Chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) will present a special screening of WAYS TO LIVE FOREVER on Tuesday, February 4. The event, which takes place at The Woman’s Club of Minneapolis (located at 410 Oak Grove St.), will feature a cash bar beginning at 6 p.m., followed by a few words from Dr. Steven Rousey of Minnesota Oncology at 7 p.m. The film will begin shortly after. Tickets are available in advance for $10 or can be purchased for $15 at the door. LLS is one of the primary supporters of this touching drama, and will benefit from a portion of the proceeds.
