    48 HOURS LEFT

    There are only two days left in the campaign! Thank you all so much for your support--we are almost there! Please continue sharing the project with your networks and help me cross the finish line!

    Going through my footage this week, I came across this gem. This video makes me smile every time I see it.

    Enjoy! I'm looking forward to sharing so much more with you in the finished film!

    1 Week Left

    It's been a long 3 weeks full of ups and downs, but now the end is in sight. We have just under 1 WEEK before this all-or-nothing campaign comes to an end. I have met many frustrations and fears over these 3 weeks, but more than anything I have been moved by your kind words, support, and amazing generosity. Thank you so much for believing in this project (and me!).

    At this point, we still have to raise just over $9,000 in the next 7 days--which is no easy task. I definitely can't do this alone. I need your help to spread the word with your social networks, to email your contacts, to call your friends. You've already done such an amazing job of sharing this project (we have 1200 facebook fans--most of whom I do not know personally), but now I need your help more than ever. With such busy and complex lives, many people forget about emails or fail to read them or think they can pledge later. There is no "later" for this project. We have to make this happen now.

    Please join me in this final week to push this project past the finish line!
