 > Dear Noelle,
 > 
 > The finish line is in sight and Iâ??m not just talking about the Olympics.  
 > I now 
 > have a rough cut of my film Lost In Living.  I am so grateful and frankly 
 > quite 
 > touched by everyone's belief in this project and in me.  
 > 
 >  
 > I have launched a Kickstarter Campaign and I need to raise $5000 or more in 
 > the 
 > next 30 days.  Thatâ??s how Kickstarter works.  If the goal isnâ??t reached, 
 > I get 
 > nothing.  This last fundraising push is necessary to complete the editing, 
 > pay 
 > the composer, update the website, create an education guide and show this 
 > film 
 > everywhere. You can read all the details about it when you click on this 
 > campaign link:

 >  
 > Many of you have financially contributed to this project already.  Your 
 > incredibly generous help has kept me editing this film toward completion.  
 > Thank 
 > you so very, very much.
 >  
 > There are so many ways to participate in the project without sending money.  
 > And 
 > I need that help.  Open up your rolodex or your email contact list and send 
 > the 
 > Kickstarter link to anyone who you think would be interested.  See if you 
 > can 
 > find at least five people to email.
 >  
 > Maybe you know someone who can write about it in a blog or an article or on 
 > a 
 > Facebook page.  Take up the message of the film as your own and pass the 
 > news 
 > about it to your friends, relatives, co-workers â?? even strangers on the 
 > street.
 >  
 > Become an Outreach Partner.  Spread the word about the film in your 
 > community, 
 > to arts and womensâ?? organizations.  Help us find places we can screen this 
 > film 
 > and partner with organizations that can benefit from its message.  
 > 
 >  
 > Most of all broadcast this Kickstarter campaign as often as you can.  
 > Facebook 
 > it, tweet it, email it, talk about it.  My thanks are enormous.
 >  
 > Please sign up on the website (below) for the newsletter and continue to
