Can you imagine being barred from seeing your own father whose health is in decline and is suffering alone? Kerri Kasem tells the incredible true life story about her radio icon father Casey Kasem, who is best known for his American Top 40 Countdown as well as being the voice of Shaggy on Scooby Doo. The contrast of his glory days to the horrific circumstances of his death bring both Carrie and Dr. Marissa to tears. Kerri receives Dr. Marissa's Beneficial Presence on the Planet Award for her work of alchemizing her personal pain of not being able to comfort her father in his last days, to fuel her healing Campaign to change legislation in all of the 52 states so that no one else has to suffer the kind of elder abuse and neglect that her father did. She has already done so in eight states in the last two years since her father's death, and even though her stepmother buried him in Norway where no one knows who he is, she is not wasting any more negative energy, only focusing on changing laws. We can all help her by following the work at www.KasemCares.com and using all of the materials that we now have available at www.Youthforhumanrights.org to teach children and adults everywhere that they do have rights!
