We're in the home stretch!
We are a few short days from the end of the preorder campaign for Invention Is a Mother and the fundraiser for Team Gleason. Both campaigns end this Sunday, June 19, and it looks like we're lined up to finish with a bang!
163 copies of Invention Is a Mother have been preordered so far, and the Team Gleason fundraiser sits at $10.5k!
We're extremely happy with the response the book has received, and your support has exceeded our expectations every step of the way! THANK YOU!!! Thank you for making this the whoppingest success in the whole grand history of whoppings and successes. We could finish now and be so, so happy. But who knows what might happen in a week?!
The end is creeping closer, with stealth only matched by a wormhole seven martinis deep into a night with a handsy lawyer—which, for the sake of the uninitiated, is startlingly stealthy! So if you know just one person who would get a kick out of reading Rob's book or putting a smile on his dear sweet face, shoot them the link to the Kickstarter and tell them to hop to!

From Rob:
Thank you again to everyone for your amazing support of Invention Is a Mother and my Team Gleason ALS fundraiser! It's been a wild ride.
Seeing the interest in my book and getting positive reviews for what I wrote has been first and foremost an incredible relief, given my self-doubt, but beyond that I feel incredibly thankful for everyone's generosity.
All donations to Team Gleason, no matter the size, are a huge help to someone living with ALS, and our combined giving is sure to have a life-changing effect. Team Gleason helped me personally by funding my wheelchair seat elevator. They funded my digital voice so I can continue to communicate with my loved ones and bark commands at my caregivers. ALS can try, but with Team Gleason's help, it won't take that away from me!
We raise our glasses to you!
