Hi, everyone. I’m heartbroken to share that on April 20, my dad, Todd, passed away due to a heart attack. My mom and I recorded this video to be fully transparent about why we need help as we look to our future without him. Thank you, Drew ❤️ (gofund.me/228681d48)

Disneyland is bringing Walt Disney back to life as an Audio-Animatronic for a new show. Disney invited us to see this attraction, titled Walt Disney - A Magical Life, and it's a remarkable experience that honors Walt's legacy in a powerful way. bit.ly/46PNBaO
