Raquel Marvez of BYU Weekly spent multiple days and countless hours with her crew and the members of Team Marius to capture the story of Marius and Ionut. We think the results are wonderful. If you haven't seen it yet you can download it here.

On November 29th a benefit concert has been scheduled for Marius. The local NBC affiliate did a great story about the concert and Marius. You can watch it here:

Marius loves to be out on his bike. Here is some early video of one of his first rides.

In early September thanks to Tom Farnsworth, a local physical therapist, Marius got a chance to see the Arizona Diamondbacks play. Here are some pictures of the fun. They got to meet the mascot, Phoenix Suns standout Dan Majerle, and made a great friend in Janie who took super care of them.

Just a little snippet from last night's excitement. I took Marius and Ionut with me to get Jeremy's (7 yr. old) haircut last night. We went to some friends who had fed us a couple of weeks ago and they have a darling dog and I knew Marius would love to get out and go play. They have two children on either side of him that are so great with him. Marius and Abby ran circles around the house chasing poor Gigi the dog.

Jens Dana of the Deseret News did a very nice article on Marius that was published today. It is accompanied by an audio slideshow put together by Mike Terry. Here is the link to the slideshow--it is a must see!

Today we had a visit from the Phoenix NBC affiliate. Here is the resulting story!

This note and wonderful pictures came from Mindy in Romania on August 3rd at 8:30:

So about a half an hour ago we saw Ionut, Teo, and Marius go through security to get on their plane! Kristen, they were all so excited! The exhaustion and stress that Teo has been burdened with seemed to vanish and she seemed so relieved that it was finally happening! You have such a wonderful adventure ahead of you with these amazing boys! From the bottom of my heart I thank you for working so hard for this miracle to occur! We appreciate Team Marius so much! Thank you again and I hope to see you sometime in the near future! Have a wonderful day!

Mindy.
