Update #5: New campaign
We've launched a new campaign and are almost done with production of the film. ArLynn has traveled the world and is on track to complete her resolution. We're so excited.
If you supported us before, we're counting on you to support us again. While we didn't hit our original goal of $60,000, we're pushing in this round for only $15,000. We can't do it without you. We're counting on you to pledge and spread the word again.
Here's the link to the second round of Kickstarter backing.

We thank you for your support and stay tuned for more updates.

Update #3: 18 hours to go
I posted on Facebook and Twitter and a few other places... today more than any other, we need people to spread the word. It's possible. If every one of my friends donated $5 and every one of their friends pledged $5, we'd be at 200% of our goal.
Some interesting stats I found today:
Phobias affect over 7% of the population. Over 19 million American adults are affected by all types of anxiety disorders. GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) affects over 4 million Americans. Women are afflicted with this two-to-one over their male counterparts.
Thank you so much for your support!
Update #2: New Trailer
New trailer is up!

We have 6 days to go and I'm hoping for a miraculous change in our presence on the web. We can only do this with your support and I'm so very grateful to those of you who have pledged so far. Please keep spreading the word and encouraging people to pledge.
Alaska comes next week and toward the end of the month, we are to embark on the circumnavigation of the globe.
Thanks again and keep the hope alive.
Ben.
Update #1: Getting ready for another trip
We are off to Atlanta tomorrow. From there we'll be driving to Huntsville and then a long drive to Tallahassee to meet up with ArLynn's father one more time. Then back to Atlanta and then home. This promises to be the trip with the most driving. Somewhere close to 20 hours of driving in a 72 hour period. Let's see how things go. I'm sure this is going to be preferable to multiple flights.
Hearty thanks to our first backers this week! Keep spreading the word and letting people know about this incredible journey. Every donation makes a HUGE difference.
More soon!

Amazingly rough travels on this trip. Our flight to Atlanta was cancelled and we were subsequently rerouted through Miami to Atlanta on two delayed flights. A 16 hour day of travel was followed by two days of driving to Huntsville and Tallahassee. We're driving back to Atlanta tonight so we can fly back tomorrow. Let's hope weather is good for our flight home. It's amazing how much travelling like this can tap you out, but we're pushing through and making some incredible connections. Thanks so much for your support. Keep spreading the word.
