It would be good to share on Facebook.
I wrote an intro with the documentary linked.
Lets get more people knowing Patrick + his story.
His family is probably up their heads in debt. Mass-culling donations would be, in my opinion, the best thing we could do for him.Here's what I wrote, feel free to copy+paste and/or change it:
---------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:

- I shared in FB. Have over 500 friends. Had 2 likes and no shares. I will insist. I also joined the POBF Group in FBoey
- i did the same. but i'm convinced no one on fb pays attention. there has to be other forums.sea_sea
- Mashable? Gawker? Sites like that (news, but maybe not so tech-related) I'm going to think on this today. I'll start reaching out sonidentity

Transfatty is/was a NewsToday/QBN legend! One of the most talented mofo's around! I still have some of his mixes he used to post in the original FMT's. I get updates every one in awhile on how's he doing on Facebook and my personal email. I haven't heard anything in a few months but I wish him the best.

I wrote on Vimeo's 'shout box'...maybe a few more could do it. Becoming a staff pick would boost traffic hugely. If this isn't what social media storytelling is then I don't know what....not just hipster music videos and mograph how to videos...

oh the doc IS online. Its a great thing to raise awareness for his story and cause. A very cool and strong person, I feel fortunate for knowing him even indirectly through NT/QBN. I hope he knows we're still paying attention.

What a great piece. Had me holding back tears through most of it. I remember his very humorous posts on NT back in the day. Hope all is well Transfatty.
PS - loved seeing the old NT page on his screen there for a sec during the movie.
