OUR SHORT FILM
In the blink of
an eye, life can
change. So can
research.
Every day at PANDA, we hear stories about how a family’s life is changed in the blink of an eye. And while no health journey is exactly the same, one thing usually is; being able to pinpoint the exact moment it started.
In moments of devastation and uncertainty, the only thing that matters is a path forward. A step closer to an answer. And hopefully someday, the identification of a cure. That’s what drives PANDA’s dedication to investing in pediatric medical research. Because every child deserves an answer, every diagnosis a treatment plan, and every parent a hope for a better tomorrow. In honor of PANDA’s 25th Anniversary, we created this short film to follow a family as their life changes, ‘In the blink of an eye.’
