NEW YORK, NY— (November 23, 2009 NEWSWIRE) The 10 Days to Touch 10 Million movement makes it easy and memorable to express gratitude to our loved ones this Thanksgiving season. Using cutting-edge social media strategies, motivated by something much more powerful than money, we will attempt to reach millions in a 10-day period with a unique message and invitation.

 A short, four-minute WisdomFilm™ found at http://www.10daysto10million.com contains a message that reminds us how much our lives matter and how much we have to give to the world. Through this experience, millions will be invited to pause from the hectic pace of life long enough to reconnect with themselves and those they love.

 The driving passion behind this movement is a group of young people who are concerned about all the pain, discouragement, and disconnect people feel right now. These are a few of the reasons why we feel the pressing need to touch 10 million lives during this season with this viral Internet campaign:

 

·   1 out of 10 adults suffer from a depressive disorder

·   14.5% of students in grades 9-12 considered suicide this year

·   1 in 3 individuals are experiencing some degree of loneliness or fear

·   Every forty seconds someone commits suicide

 Unfortunately, because we as humans are often so good at masking our pain, it is possible that even the people closest to us may feel depressed, lonely, or afraid right now – and we may not even know it. In light of the current economic situation, there are even more individuals silently struggling.

 Together we can touch 10 million lives this Thanksgiving – and reach that one person who needs it now most of all. What if that one person is someone you know? Please watch the video and share it with those you love at http://www.10daysto10million.com.

 Special thanks to Gary Malkin, seven-time Emmy award-winning composer and producer; internationally acclaimed cinematographer Louis Schwartzberg of BlackLight Films; and Wisdom of the World for creating this beautiful WisdomFilm™ and for allowing us to give it away to the world for such an important cause.
