Update #23: FINAL 18 HOURS....

Posted on April 22, 2010

Dear Friends,

Today was a very tough day. The loss of our cat Scooby has been devastating. I cannot explain why triumph and tragedy are linked so closely together but they certainly are. There is more I would like to write about it, but I am going to save it for another time and place.

We now have 18 hours to raise $3885. When we started this campaign, I didn't imagine it would be coming down to the wire like this. I also never could have imagined the support YOU have given me and this project. All of us involved in this film have been so touched by you and your efforts to help us meet our goal. Honestly, I am not sure I have ever received this kind of outpouring of love. It is so overwhelming that it is hard to put into words. For that reason, whether the goal is reached or not, this campaign has been worth it.

I refuse to believe that we will not reach our goal. With the support I am seeing and experiencing I believe we are going to race to our end goal. Thank you for believing in me, our team and this project. I will see you at the finish line!

Thank you for your love and support!
David Branin & the Goodbye Promise Team

PS - This campaign has gotten frenetic in these final days. Each of you who are contributing to this film are our friends and family. I am going to be doing my best to touch base with each one of you personally. My work certainly does not end when this campaign ends. Please do not hold it against me if I have yet to directly thank you. I will not leave you hanging.
