Halfway There!!!
A little about "Kickstarter", it's a site that allows people to discover, watch and contribute to fund a project. If the project meets its goals in a set period of time, the project is funded, if it doesn't meet the established threshold, the monies collected are returned to the donors.
We hardly ever beseech each other to contribute to worthy causes yet, this one is so personal and close to home for most of you that I'm asking you to do that now.
This film might be starring me, but it's really about all the patients, families, caregivers and lives that have been devastated by FTD.
If your reading this there is good chance you are family member, caregiver, friend or someone in the health industry directly related to FTD. You know how devastating FTD is. The film is not only about devastation, it's about me finding purpose in life again and grasping at a life that is going away. There's no question my health is declining, but I'm choosing life and to make the most of it till the very end.

"Howard's Brain" being made will shine a light on this awful disease and raise more funds for research and an eventual cure.
