Once again thank you to all of the awesome investors, as you know we blew past the $6000 goal in 24 hours and here is how we currently sit as of 4/11/2012

  • $9,312 pledged
  • 155% funded
  • 163 backers
  • 4 days to go

If we hit 10k in funding...

There are a few things that happen if we hit 10k in funding.  I have pledged that I will kick in the extra cash needed to bump the quality of both books up in terms of professional publishing help and quality of the materials themselves.

Also for the Fark.com backers I will put up a poll to allow you farkers to choose my trail name and trust me I have had several suggestions.. :)

A few other items of note regarding this project:

I have gotten sponsorship from several really cool equipment companies that are helping me out with gear.

Hennessy Hammock 

Ultralight Adventure Equipment

Triple Aught Design

And a few new ways to communicate:

Just Launched a website about daily life with a tumor and this project - http://www.going-south.org

A.T. Specific Blog: The Dusty Camel

Facebook Fan Page for the Books: https://www.facebook.com/goingsouthAT

Hope you all are having a great week, if you have any suggestions please email me goingsouthhiker@gmail.com

Best,

Bill
