Carol and I would like to thank the Academy for recognizing the selfless efforts of the doctors and nurses of Interplast. They've changed the lives of thousands of children all over the world. We'd like to thank everyone who made this film possible. Chuck, and Mark, and Susan, and our crew. Rock, and Rich, and Bob, and our editor David. And I'd like to send my love to my love Mike for teaching me perspective, and to my son Brian for teaching me persistence. Thank you.
