ADAA Flies High With Donny Osmond

Your heart may just skip a beat next time you fly Continental and see heartthrob Donny Osmond talking about ADAA on a new in-flight video, "Body of Knowledge." From January to April 2005, a two-minute video about ADAA and anxiety disorders will feature Donny speaking about his personal experiences with panic attacks and social anxiety disorder.

While his fans' hearts beat faster when he is on stage, it was getting through everyday life that made Donny's heart race off-stage. Like more than 5.3 million Americans, the entertainer and honorary ADAA board member suffers from social anxiety disorder.

"The greatest thing about the ADAA is they have the resources to help you realize that you're not alone, so many people suffer from this" Donny says in the video. "They give you the tools and techniques to help you with something that is real, that is serious, but is treatable. They help you get on with your life."

ADAA is very grateful that Donny donated his time to film the segment for Continental and help us launch our 25th anniversary.

"We are so excited Donny is able to work with us to get out our message that anxiety disorders are real and treatable," said Jerilyn Ross, President and CEO of ADAA.
