At 15, Darius left his home in Georgia for the first time in pursuit of his dream of getting his wheelchair “pimped.” He became an award-winning documentarian in the process. Darius Goes West, his film about his road trip to the West Coast, has brought the the issue of disability rights to the national stage and has raised almost $2 million for research about his 100% fatal condition Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. He was a 2009 Do Something Award Winner.
