The initial drive of this project was to raise money for brain injury and movement disorder charities and organizations through the donation of photographic material for the publication of a photobook. The book - Life Still Dreams became the first to visually illustrate an illness through the medium of photographic storytelling and evokes an emotional journey highlighting the vibrancy, yet the stillness of life that becomes. Funds raised from this project are donated to movement disorder charities and organizations.
