Depp Impact Updates

2010-07-28T21:02:00.002-04:00

It has been nearly a year and a half since my Team and I began working to bring Depp Impact up to date. Although Trish Bennett created a great foundation to work from, the site needed much work. Due to the effects of hackers, the entire Photoshoot photo gallery had to be recreated. Also, all sections were not current - some by as many as 5 years behind.

We didn't stop with updating what existed on Depp Impact. We worked to keep it current as events occurred. Also, new pages were added - Johnny Depp's Body Art and Johnny Depp's Artwork - as well as entire new sections for Johnny Depp's Music and Vanessa Paradis. And we worked to make the site more user-friendly with greater organization and sub-sections.

Thousands of hours were devoted to create a great resource for those wanting to know more about the man we greatly admire - for long-time admirers and for those new to the fandom.

I am pleased, and proud, to announce that Depp Impact is now up to date.

My deepest gratitude goes to Depp Impact's Team and to all the dedicated admires who helped along the way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This is our labor of love - to you and to the man that brought us together, Johnny Depp. May there be many more years to celebrate.

Join Depp Impact, Johnny's Angels and Johnny Depp in supporting Children's Hospice.

2010-05-25T20:29:00.002-04:00

Lisa Buell's daughter, Madison, succumbed to cancer at age two and a half. That was ten years ago. There was no Children's Hospice then, but Lisa, Madison and their family were fortunate. They received support from family and friends. Lisa now works for Children's Hospice as a writer and parent's advocate. She provides support to families facing the same challenges she faced, helping them navigate the turbulent waters she once sailed.

Madison's sister Delaney's second grade class was learning about the Day of the Dead. Lisa talked to them about Madison. She told them a little about her illness. The children asked how Madison died. They talked about cancer, about how much time they spent in the hospital, how scary it was and how much they had to learn along the way. Then Lisa told them that she works for Children's Hospice. This is how she explained to them what Children's Hospice does:

"When the kids asked how I helped people, I gave the analogy of doing a puzzle. 'Would it be easier for a person to do a puzzle who had never done it before or for the person who had?' I asked. It was unanimous; all of the kids voted in favor of the experienced Puzzlemaster. 'What if you could talk with the people who made the puzzle?,' I asked. Again, they agreed. Well, I explained one of my jobs is get to let doctors know about the pieces of the puzzle that don’t fit very well and help to get them changed."

Lisa talked with the children about community and how important it is to help people in need, even if you don't know them. The children understood.

Johnny understands. He supports the greater community through many charitable acts, most recently with the Captain Jack Sparrow egg for The Royal Blind School. He visits sick children in London's Great Ormand Street Hospital dressed as Jack Sparrow. He grants wishes through Make A Wish. He shows his support for Children's Hospice by wearing Dustin's "Today is a gift" bracelet often.

Johnny's Angels understands. They honor Johnny by supporting Children's Hospice with numerous fundraisers year round. Knowing that they make a difference is their only reward.

We can show we understand. We can show our support. We can join Johnny's Angels, Johnny and Children's Hospice. Together we can make a difference. No donation is too small.

Please give before the promotion ends on Johnny's birthday, June 9th.
