About 18 months ago, MTV was casting an episode of their True Life
documentary series called I'm Losing My Sight. They selected my son Jeremy
as one of the 3 characters in this hour-long show, as they were intrigued by
his story of suddenly becoming legally blind at age 19 due to LHON, a rare
genetic disorder. Jeremy rides a tandem bike with friends 240 miles each
summer to raise awareness of and research funding for LHON.  MTV just
announced the episode's air date & time-it's Sat. Nov. 5 at 4 pm (check
local listings). If you're interested and miss it, you can check the MTV
True Life website for reruns, or to watch online after the original air
date. Info about LHON is at www.lhon.org, and info about Jeremy is at
www.jeremypoincenot.com.
