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.

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!

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:

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!

Good vibes Patrick!! Hope everything is ok...
You inspired me and a ton lot of people more, to remember to stay strong when things go wrong (i started riding my bike and taking care of me again years a go, knowing you on Newstoday, and your "case", after seeing how fragile our lives, our body, are).
Thanks for your inspiration

WOW! This is actually the first time I've watched it I didn't know it was done...take 30 minutes out of your busy life to watch his movie. It will definitely open your eyes. I can't even imagine going through this.

I still watch your stuff as well... Your promos are still the high water mark for me. I think of you often, though we never met. Good vibes your way, my man.

Patrick,
I still watch your "Short Promo" video from time to time and really love the "Take me down to the water... feel it run over me..." section.
Hope all is well & good...
