This video is on behalf of ALL the students, faculty, friends, and family of Macey Turner, a senior student at Hardin Valley Academy in Knoxville,TN. Macey is in a Special Education class at HVA, but her disability has NEVER stopped her from being passionate about the things she loves most! Macey is a HUGE Elliott Yamin fan(it's an obsession)!! This obsession has been a distraction from her day to day struggles with Prader Willi. Each year at HVA we do a Spread the Word to End the Word campaign. Spread the word is a nationally recognized week of creating awareness to try and stop the use of the word retard(ed) and campaign of the hurtful impacts it has on the lives of people with and without intellectual disabilities. WE as a community would love nothing more than for Elliott to be a part of our 2013 rally, which is set for March, 8th!!! Macey gained a personal connection with Elliott when he first auditioned for American Idol; Macey and Elliott both have diabities. She voted and promoted others to vote for him throughout his journey on American Idol. She has bought all 4 of Elliott's cds on the day of release. Elliott came to Knoxville in September of 2011 and Macey was front and center at the concert. She even had the pleasure of meeting him afterwards. Please help get the word out to everyone- post it on your facebook pages, twitters, tumblrs, etc- it may mean nothing to you, but it would mean the world to us and most importantly Macey! Thanks y'all!
