I like the idea of sending a photo to transfatty like sea-sea suggested.
Quick question, I wonder if sending him a self portrait of myself and introducing myself with my qbn handle and name would be kinda cool or just really stupid? I mean, I feel like I know him as much or as little as a lot of people on here, but I still consider him a friend of sorts. What do you think?

I watched it yesterday and it made me feel really small; humbled.
I think it is a great success.

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

- 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

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...

What a fighter and an inspiration. Makes you reflect on your own challenges and how insignificant they are in the overall scheme of things.
Anyone know what's going on with him now? Doesn't seem to have been much of an update for a while...what a shockingly cruel disease.
