    While we've reached the minimum, which means we get to keep what we've raised, the more money that comes in, the better!

    We update regularly and post more footage of Henry Grimes here...

    Trying to get funding is difficult. This project is close to my heart. Seeing Henry play blew my mind. I brought in Jeremy and Brendan, and Henry's live playing blew their minds. But it was something else about him, something much more monumental. His lack of anger, and ability to see light in almost complete darkness is astounding, and it infects you with hope.

    Come along for the ride.

    thanks
