      Have not received anything or been notified of any kind of delivery. Did receive e-mail stating bracelets would be sent out a while back. Are you still backed up? If so that is fine. Just don't want to be overlooked. Thank you.

      Heard from BHN responding to my question about rewards. If it helps anyone they wrote me that "The pledge survey will be sent out later this year in order to receive your information" I just received the email regarding the digital download the other day and replied, however, have recevied nothing else. I am sure they are all quite busy but hope everything works out for all of us.

      My bracelet could not have arrived at a more perfect time. It's beautiful - both in workmanship and meaning. Thank you so much. I cannot wait for the day I bump into someone else wearing one too. It will be a very serendipitous and special moment. ♥

      Although I do appreciate the update emails and am looking forward to the documentary release, I recently checked in here and noticed due dates for backing categories. I have yet to receive anything other then the emails and I know the category I qualify for has certain value. Not to sound ungrateful but who can I contact to get an update?

      I am not overseas and I have not received my bracelet, email, or artwork. Still looking forward to everything that is forthcoming. I did send 2 emails to The Be Here Now Team, and have not heard anything. I have not lost hope of getting the bracelet which I will wear with honor since my mom was diagnosed with the same cancer as Andy's.

      Can someone tell me if they received the form for the bracelet and sent it late/ missed the deadline date for the reward? Because I think I missed the deadline (I saw the email late in my inbox) I am worried that it's too late now and I won't get it X

      Lilibet...I received my bracelet today and am wearing it as I type this. On of all days, a day of reflection...my 46th birthday, so although it already was it's even more symbolic to me now, and it will be a reminder of the fragility of life and how Andy and his legacy projects a positivity and strength that is to be admired and pursued by all. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of it . God Bless you and family!

      Creator Kris Vaupel on January 9

      I have yet to receive my bracelet either. Hopefully it will be on my wrist soon! I'm honestly more excited to see the documentary than to get the bracelet. Do you guys think we'll get a copy of it once it's released?

    35. Missing_small

      Creator Mathew George on January 9

      Haven't received mine yet either. An update on the status would be nice. I'm a little more eager to see the documentary, to be honest. I still watch Blood and Sand and reminds me how great the series once was and how Mr. Whitfield WAS Spartacus!
