Are We On A Roll?! Welcome, Hero Kathy!
Kathy Sorensen just pledged to help the sniff! Welcome, Hero Kathy, and thank you!
We've had a lot of new heroes today, friends. Is this a powerful new trend? Are we all opening our mouths more and sharing what makes us proud? Are we singing the praises of these epic little heroes and how they've touched so many lives?
Because, you know, it isn't just Faith and Maxwell and Kristie... it's all of us. It's Kyra and Emma and Lila and Keeli and Emerson and ALL OF US! Even the grown ups who have been lucky enough to hang out with these awesome kiddos. We're all showing the world that TOGETHER we can make great stories, we can inspire and support and empower each other. We can, in short...
CHANGE THE WORLD.
Come on, heroes. Let's make some history. http://kck.st/O8X2Q6 Just two more pledges before midnight tonight and we'll have more pledges in a single day than any campaign we've ever run for any project. Let's do it!!

Gronberg Heroes!
You know... I don't think Kristie and her family will mind what I'm about to say. The Gronberg family (Kristie's family) is not rich. Nope. They are not. I know, I know, you're all shocked. Kristie and Bridget and Ryan have been on set with many of you and they look very fancy and they're super nice (which always means someone is rich, right?). But the Gronberg's are actually not independently wealthy.
And yet Kristie pledged with her own funds and just a few moments ago, little Ryan pledged his tooth fairy money to bring us right up to a nice, round $900. You don't have to pledge $100... or even $10. $3 is a cool pledge. $1 is a fine pledge, actually!
Of course, if you *are* independently wealthy, or if you've never supported "Ghost Sniffers" before... now is certainly the time to step up and say to the world: "Children with disabilities DESERVE to be super heroes. They DESERVE to see themselves on the silver screen and the small screen. I believe in empowering kiddos. They are not less than. They are more than their conditions. They are the strongest among us."
Take action, friends. Now is the time. http://kck.st/O8X2Q6
And Ryan? Thank you, Purple Imp.

One Dedicated Teen Makes Huge Impact
Kristie Gronberg, one of the teen actors on "Ghost Sniffers," wrote this incredible blog in an effort to help build awareness in the show. The fate of "Ghost Sniffers" will be decided in 24 days when it's final fundraising campaign is either successful or not. Even if you can't donate $5... take a moment to read Kristie's blog. It will inspire you that kiddos like Kristie -- passionate, dedicated and selfless -- still exist in the world.

Hero Jennifer H. -- and Blog #201
Celebrating our 201st blog, let's have a huge thank you and welcome to our newest KickStarter hero, Jennifer Hoggard! Thank you for believing in us, Jennifer. A monster sniff pin -- to celebrate your awesomeness is winging it's way to you :D
We're making our goals, team! Come on heroes! Many of you are *in* these episodes. Let's make this happen -- together.

Is "Ghost Sniffers" Ending?
My inbox was suddenly stuffed with messages asking if the show was
ending. Please let me clarify for everyone. The answer is yes and no.
We're running our last fundraising campaign (http://kck.st/O8X2Q6). If the campaign funds, all of Season 1 will post online and Season 2 will be able to move forward and secure a producer -- so no more fundraising ever, ever again. Yay!
If the campaign isn't successful, then "Ghost Sniffers" will officially close. The seven episodes we've finished will stay on the website but production won't move forward on the remaining episodes or on Season 2. The crew here will have to turn their attention to other projects to recoup their financial investment in the show.
Whether or not the campaign is successful, we will move forward and make the music video (which was funded by Christopher Harris). The finished video will be posted on the website. Should a series producer step forward to take on the show's corporate and business fundraising, he or she would then start working on Season 1 instead of Season 2.
The best thing any of us can do right now is either donate to the campaign (even $5 brings us closer), or post the link to the campaign on your Facebook, or email it to friends and family. The campaign is run through KickStarter and their rules are that unless we fund completely ($3000) we receive nothing and the pledgers are never charged a penny. We've already past the $500 mark and we still have 25 days to go. We all feel very hopeful but we would appreciate your help to spread the word.
Thank you all and I hope this clarifies the situation :) May we continue making "Ghost Sniffers" together for many, many years to come.
