Support The Briana Watts Project
2009-12-13 2:02:33 PM
Briana Nicole Watts was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma,
a bone cancer in December 2007 at the age of 13. Since
then, Briana has gone through 7 surgeries, a year of
chemo therapy, and has endured a substantial amount of
medication to maintain her health.
In December 2008, it was declared that Briana was cancer
free and was on her way to getting back to living a normal
life. Briana was excited and thankful for being able to do
just that. She was able to walk on her leg and return back
to school and participate in activities that she has missed
out on.

In February Briana began complaining of leg pain again,
so many scans were done to try and determine the cause.
All the scans came back clean of no problems but the pain
continued to the point of having to put Briana back on
crutches. Finally, June 2009, a MRI determined that the
cancer was back but this time not only did it return back
to the femur bone but also her lungs. Chemo therapy was
started back up immediately with the hopes that the cancer
could be reduced down in size.

In July 2009, the pain in Briana’s leg became unbearable.
Little did we know that the femur bone had cracked due to
the cancer weakening the bone. At that time, emergency
surgery was performed to replace the femur bone with a
prosthetic and she had a partial hip replacement. The
surgery was a success; however it caused her to have to
wear a brace for 12 weeks to keep her leg elevated and
to keep the joint ball in socket. The chemo therapy was
started back up soon after the surgery with the hopes that
the cancer would not come back in the leg and reduce the
size that was in her lungs.
In September 2009, Scans were taken again to monitor
the cancer. It was our hopes that the chemo had worked
and the size of the cancer has decreased. We were very
disappointed to find out that the chemo had failed and the
cancer had grown in size. The doctors were very concerned
about how quickly the cancer was spreading through both
of her lungs and it was decided that a major surgery was
needed to remove these cancer cells out of her lungs.
This was the families’ only option since none of the chemo
was working for Briana. If the surgery was not done it was
possible Briana would not survive very long. The surgery
was performed on September 22, 2009. The surgeons
were pretty confident that they got all the cells but wouldn’t
be able to confirm until she recovered and a CT scan was
performed. After some weeks of recovering a new scan of
the lungs was done and it showed that the cancer was back
and still very much aggressive.

Today, we are facing some serious decisions regarding
Briana’s health. A recent scan was determined that the
cancer is very much still in existence in both her lungs. It has
been contestant with resisting the chemo and determined
that the cancer has also returned to the leg. The doctors
has informed the family that there is no more medically that
can be done to cure Briana from the cancer but, we are still
keeping the faith for a full recovery. The doctors suggest
either continuing treating wit the intensions of slowing the
growth down a bit to preserver Briana’s life a bit longer.
Briana still to this day has severe pain and swelling in her
left leg. She has been given the option of amputating the
leg as a solution to pain control. It is amazing what this child
at15 has been through and continue to go through on a
daily basis.

SPONSORSHIP & VOLUNTEERS

SPONSORSHIP GOAL: $50,000

The Briana Watt’s Story is one that has touched many lives of children and adults. The
strength of this little God’s Angel is significant and inspiring and needs to be shared to the
world. Briana has gone through this struggle for many years. Her sickness has not only
affected the family emotionally, but has resulted to costly medical bills and a financial
strain on her family to try and maintain.

We are hosting a two day event, “The Briana Project” to raise funds for Briana to take
care of the medical bills not covered through the insurance company, costly out of pocket
prescriptions and personal items for Briana. This will allow her to live comfortably as we
prepare for what’s to come. We hope this will relieve some additional stress on her and
the family.

The indoor/outdoor splendor of the Sage Woodfire Tavern’s Garden Room, allowed party-goers to take full advantage of the delicious early-October air.

Throughout the evening raffle tickets were drawn. The lucky winners were awarded a wide range of prizes, such as hand-delivered breakfast baskets, designer clothing, hand-crafted jewelry, massage therapy, and a weekend stay at the Escape to Blue Ridge cabin retreat of North Georgia.


Carol Walters, Angels Over Forsyth founder, said the following about her collaboration with the Venza Group and Music for Charities: “I am so excited to have worked with such a great group of folks! I still pinch myself to see if it was so!”

The Venza Group threw the party to celebrate their recent re-branding and relocation to the Colony Park office complex in Alpharetta, Georgia.

Who are Do Good Everyday People?
ATLANTA (March, 2008) --- Have you every wished you could acknowledge the everyday people who make a difference? We believe the selfless should be celebrated for their humanity and compassion.  Beginning at 8 pm on May 3rd, jazz singer Tammy Allen and Daniel Adam Johnson founder of Music For Charities will officially launch www.DoGoodEveryday.com with a concert at Se Vauge. Tammy Allen, the founder of The Everyday People Award, remarked, “The spirit of this award is to acknowledge the Everyday People whose acts of kindness, small and large, truly make a difference in our lives. They inspire us all to make the world a better place.”

Everyday People are not celebrities; they are family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers and maybe even strangers who perform selfless acts simply because they care. You wouldn’t know it by listening to the news, but there are many people donating their talents, money and most importantly their time to make the world a better place. The Do Good Everyday People Award seeks to acknowledge everyday humanitarians and encourage their acts of kindness.

How does The Do Good Everyday People Award work?
It’s easy. It’s online. Submit a brief description with verifiable facts and websites about an Everyday Person that you feel embodies the Do Good Everyday People Award.  The candidate will be notified of their nomination by email. Nominees’ stories will be posted and readers can vote online.  Each month’s winner will receive a small prize package and be featured for the month.

Winners will then be eligible for The 2008 Everyday People Award and grand prize package!

Music for Charities is proud to provide the online nomination and voting arena for the Do Good Everyday People Award. Securely housed within the Music for Charities website (www.DownloadUplift.com), users may review nominee information for the current month as well as browse the stories of months past.

Listening to music 'improves' stroke patients' recovery
2008-01-04 12:47:25 AM
London (PTI): Be it pop, classical or jazz, it's no secret that music improves mood.

A new study has found that it can better your health too, especially after a stroke. Researchers in Europe have found that listening to music even for a couple of hours a day in the early stages after a stroke can improve a patient's recovery, the British media reported on Wednesday. "As a result of our findings, we suggest that everyday music listening during early stroke recovery offers a valuable addition to the patients' care... it's an inexpensive means to facilitate cognitive and emotional recovery," according to lead researcher Teppo Srkm.

Srkm of the University of Helsinki and his fellow researchers came to the conclusion after comparing patients who listened to music for a couple of hours a day, with those who listened only to audio books, or nothing at all.
