THE DOC BUS CAMPAIGN IS OVER! WHAT A SUCCESS!
Wow, what a relief that the crowdfunding campaign is over! I am so happy! I had such a deep relaxed sleep last night, and I awoke feeling the weight of the world lifted from my shoulders.
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated, shared and promoted our campaign! With online and offline donations, we made a little under $6000 - enough money to buy gas from Mile 0 to Mile 0 and back, and a little extra to pay for the website! FANTASTIC! YOU ALL ROCK!
While the campaign didn't raise the full goal, I'm confident that we will generate the funds we need along the way. I will be making it easy for folks to donate on our website throughout the trip and we'll be passing the Doc Bus hat at every stop. We have 3 fundraising events already planned: on May 29 at Full Circle Studio in Victoria, June 1st in Vancouver and June 4th in Penticton! Stay tuned for more details about these fun events.
The campaign did succeed in raising a lot of awareness and excitement about the journey. I have heard from documentary filmmakers and event organizers in 30 or more cities & towns across Canada! And dozens (hundreds?) of people have told me how inspiring and important this project is. I feel very supported in so many ways.
Thanks for being part of the journey! I'll continue to post updates here, and you can also follow the journey on facebook, twitter and our website, which will launch next week! http://www.GetontheDocBus.com
Ahhh! Now I can get on with the important work of getting ready to leave on a very long roadtrip! Stay tuned for more!
