In honor of Parkinson’s Awareness month, two chances to
see the critically acclaimed documentary film Ride with Larry, at La
Paloma Theatre in Encinitas.  

Made by local filmmakers, the film has
screened to sold-out audiences and has been generating “buzz” based on audience
response to the impact of exercise, and a particular medical marijuana scene
captured here in San Diego. 

This inspirational film is a story of love and
hope, following retired Police Captain Larry Smith as he cycles across South
Dakota to prove that “if you love life, you’ll fight for it.”

Ride With Larry is a powerful and inspiring documentary film that follows Larry Smith,
who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease over 20 years ago. Larry wants to do
one last big thing before it’s too late: ride
his bike 300 miles across his state of South Dakota to inspire other people
living with Parkinson’s and to prove that sometimes the best cure is living
life to the fullest.

Following the first screening, the filmmakers will hold a
special Q&A.  After the second screening, Voice of San Diego CEO,
Scott Lewis will moderate a panel featuring Scripps Hospital’s stem cell
research team, Americans for Safe Access medical marijuana lobby, and the
Parkinson’s Association will speak to these important issues as they relate to
San Diego. Ticket holders from either screening are welcome to attend the panel
discussion. Seating is first-come, first-serve.

GoPro, maker of the action-sports camera used in the movie, has
generously donated 3 of their newest Hero3 cameras to be raffled at the event.
Tickets are $5 and the winners need not be present to win. You are invited to enjoy
food and drinks at D-Street Bar & Grill, next-door to the theater, no
ticket needed. (D St. will donate a percentage of your bill to Ride With
Larry). There will be live music in addition to the chance to speak with the filmmakers.
 

Proceeds from the event and the raffle will go to benefit:
Parkinson’s Association, Summit4StemCell and the San Diego Chapter of Americans
for Safe Access.
