BUMP!
98% funded
14 days left
$645 needed.Money is probably tight for most of us.
$25 can be a lot of unbudgeted money to give away.So - give of you can - but if you CAN'T...
Take 5 minutes and share this across your social media outlets.
Take the few minutes and write up a little summary about the organization, Patrick, and how fulfilling this goal would be such a jolt of happiness and hope in people's lives.If you can't give - passionately share!

it's a blessing he has such loving family.

Might be a lot to ask, but lets copy the full-version doc to a Facebook status and write up a little something asking people to spread the word/donate. I did this morning. Most will ignore, but of the 100,000's (if not millions of friends represented by the members here) I feel like we'd get some traction.
Feeling humbled and optimistic.
Would love to increase Patrick's support base!

Here's what I wrote up the included the link to the doc.
Feel free to copy+paste (and edit) for ease-of-use.Humbled.
Patrick O'brien is a designer, videographer, father, son and friend.
We are both members of the online design community QBN/Newstoday.
8 years ago, Patrick was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). In that time, he's had a son, continued to direct (including this documentary) and live a life of gratitude and love.
Please take the 30 minutes - as hard as this can be to watch - and get to know Patrick, his family and his story. I guarantee it will put things into perspective for you, regardless of your daily troubles and heavy loads.
If you're as touched and humbled by this as I am, please consider donating to Patrick at:

You know that in albums profile when you click to visit his website it links you to Patrick's foundation?
That's the reason why I never forgot it in the first place.
Big UP!

So, you people think it's possible to assemble a package with stuff from all of us to send him?
Would it take too long to collect?
What do you guys think about it?
Is there anyway to gather best wishes of all of us in a digital way and send it physically to him?
I'm gonna check where to send him some stickers or postcard.Like QBN is with you Transfatty!
I don't know.Lets use our FORCE!
